Default did the accord coupes with the VTEC v6 come in a 5 speed?

ive never considered buying an accord, but i do like the lines of the accord coupe.... did the v6 VTEC coupe come with a 5 speed???

and what are your impressions of this motor compared to other VTEC motors... ive only had experience with the common b16a, b18c, etc.... so 4 cyl's is all i have driven

is the VTEC crossover apparent in the accord motor? and what is the redline?

5th and 6th gen only comes in crappy auto shushbox, the 7th/occur generatin comes with a manual 6speed transmission.

it would run you 27-8 depends on the options and navi package.

i believe all the newer accord have an variable vtec crossover point.

they are no where need as "hard" or noticeable if you have a b18 with proper gearing.

after driving my s2000 for a while, my accord's vtec crossover is like a tiny bump in the rocky mountain

you talking about the newest generation Accord?

j30a4 single cam 3-stage vtec 5spd automatic or 6spd MT
244 hp and 212 ft/lbs 10:1CR.

single cam vtec is only limited to the intake side and more for low-speed economy and high-speed efficiency than performance like dohc vtec.

The older v6 models didn't come with a 5 speed from factory, the 4 banger vtec ones did, you're wanting one of the NSX tail light style?

auto 4 cyl
5 spd 4 cyl
auto v6

I wanted one as well but friend has a ex 5 spd, and I wasn't impressed
