You probably had one of those "Iron Duke " four, or one of those Ford Pintos. I would not say it if I didn't do it! I didn't need any smart crap from someone that hasn't dicovered Honda engine yet. I found out back in 1979, withe the Honda CVCC 53 hp Civic, that they had some better than the Vega! Nuf said! > > |

That was not the question. The original claim was that the 2007 Accord I4 was inadequate and that one needed the V6. My assertion was and is that the I4 has ample power. As proof I claimed that the car will spin the tires and easily exceed 100 mph (within a few seconds, not the 15 minutes that some other wit suggested) If you want a more powerful engine, then fine.
