This is not true. VW's DSG is more like a real manual, the Honda is just a conventional automatic.


My understanding is that Honda has long used a torque convertor followed by conventional gears (not planetaries). VW DSG has a wet clutch and conventional gears also.


Yup! Conventional gears and counter shafts ... not at all like a traditional automatic. Mechanically, more similar to a manual transmission than an automatic.

Nice Car...But I wouldn't park it in the kitchen.

They are nice rims.

I'm looking for 20s for my charger this year.
Well supercharger first,then rims.

As for a daily I do not care for stick shift.
Paddle shifters are great for when the g forces are too much!

More Pics! Already have over 1000 miles.
Already have a small stereo upgrade along with HID and LED lighting.
About to write the first payment and the car is done just the way I like it.





Lowered it and put the 20's on last night

Awesome! That looks great, not overdone.

 

[ls1mike]

Who did your head work?

I had an 01 with very similar mods. I don't think I will do much more to my 04 as I have the Trans Am.


I good friend of mine from Springfield, IL did the head himself and he had them on his budget build mid 11 second Regal GS. That is a 2.8 pulley on a Gen V lol


Was the guy's name Mat T. by chance? Drove a fast budget build maroon 97 GS? The GTP/GS fad hit Springfield hard just as the LS1 and fox body fads were hitting their peaks. Now we just have bro trucks running around like idiots.

That's actually slightly larger sidewall then with is recommended too. I have a 35 series sidewall and a lot of people use a 30 series sidewall

How does that thing ride on those conestoga wagon wheels?!

Nice car. Did I read that you said the 3.5l v6 is no race car, but it gets out of its own way? I'd think an engine of that size in a little 2 door Accord would FLY! Am I missing something?

Everyone's definition of "fly" is different. That accord is a fairly quick car, but the OP also has a 400 whp grand prix, making the accord's v6 only adequate to him. Either way both cars are sick, nice daily driver and race car.

That's the sexiest Honda I've ever seen. Nice job man. I'm envious!

It's no doubt quick and I was quite impressed on how it rides out but no, it is not a race car by any means lol.

The ride is rough at times when I drive [censored] roads but other then that it is actually not bad!

 

[dan_erickson]

The dealer had the window tint installed as part of the deal but the shop did a bad job so it is going to another shop to get stripped, re-tinted and I am also getting my windshield tinted. Cant wait!

Yeah, but it's fair to say that his car is fast if you're not comparing it to vehicles that have been designed specifically with speed in mind.

I've driven a few genuinely fast vehicles over the years, but I still describe my Camry V-6 as fast because relative to other vehicles of its type it is quite quick.
