Default Basic acceleration

Just to start out, I have a black 94' accord sedan and its a manual tranny (body is the best). Ok, my friend and I were having a debate. Now would spark plugs, or fuel injectors have a big influence on acceleration. (which one has more of an impact.) Also, he wanted to know what would win if it was a 99' black civic coupe vs a black 94' accord, (my beautiful car).

what does the civic have in it, what does your car have in it, what trim are both cars, how good is each driver, is the civic at or mt...
Your question about "who would win" is bs, why don't you just take it to the track.

well since both of the cars are black then it impossible to tell. Just f#@king with ya.

I assume straight line acceleration is being questioned here.

You still didn't answer the "what tranny is in the Civic" question.

If manual then it would be close. The driver would decide the race.

Oops, ok the tranny for the civic would be manual. Now if both drivers were your average quickshifting, wannabe ricers, what would the outcome be. We were also talking about the weight ratio too. Many say the civic would win off the line, others say that the accord would dominate off the line.

if both are stock manuals then it comes to the driver/tire/weight/clutch condition/etc.

I make no predictions.

Who would win in a race...a 65 year old man with one leg and only one crutch and a bottle of NaawwwZ! y0 on his back or a 74 Pinto with 3 wheels with custom Altezzas?

I hate ******* stupid questions.

Man this is a retarded question, seriously WTF?!

Why don't you and your buddy just take your cars to a local track, run them, and find out that way? That would make much more sense than starting a thread about who would win. There are so many different variables in a race that it's just plain stupid to ask a bunch of people OVER THE INTERNET who would win a race!

Grow up.

...and if you want to bring it into the realm of English, so do grammer errors.
