Is it true that an '03 accord v6 can beat the GTI Mk5 volkswagen? The accord v6 has better stats and better times, but I am not sure about it beating a GTI. Let's say both are stock-- would the GTI lose? Thanks.

 

first, the problem with this post is it's not technical related..
second, it's an accord; therefore, it shouldn't be raced with to begin with.
third, you're comparing two way different cars.

 

Bench Racing FTW.

The 2006 Accord 6-6 HFP Coupe was homologated to Grand Am and was raced with some success by a Honda team associated with a fairly well known driver.

The biggest handicap in this kind of situation appears to be the brakes, especially the rear brakes. The ABS works very well in a racing situation, but the brake callipers are the same size as the regular USA production car...and they're not quite big enough for repeated threshold braking from 140 mph.
