2007 Accord V6 Sedan 0-80

Yet another run in my slow family sedan. This time I manually shifted to see if it would make a difference (it didn't). I wanted to shift at the redline, but the camera was blocking my view of the tach, so I shifted too early (6500 instead of 6800). The launch was still bad, thanks to the car's lack of torque.

So wait, if you're manual shifting and have 1 hand on the wheel, I assume you duct-taped ur digicam to ur neck?

Nah, I held the steering wheel and the camera together in my left hand, and shifted with my right.

but...this is an automatic. Keke.

You can manually shift most automatics. In this car you have to manually shift to get the best acceleration. In Drive, it upshifts too early, as much as 600 RPM short of the redline.

your TOYOTA VAN is shit comparing to HONDA lol

get a life

Shifting at redline doesn't necessarily mean you're going to do any better. Take the time to learn the power curve of your engine first so you'll know the best times to shift. Very rarely is it at redline. That's regardless of transmission type too. On an 07 EXL V6 6mt sedan, shifting at redline is too late and costs you almost 1/2 sec in the 0-60.

@royalxchaos9 Actually Accord 1998-2002 models have problem with their transmissions. Honda didn't really get rid of that completely till 2005. Problem with Odyssey transmission too. There is a Class action lawsuit for which they fixed transmissions upto 7 years. I know I have both 99 accord and 2006 accord, both V6. All I am saying is Honda does not always make "really well" products. But I still love them.

@royalxchaos9 Yes it will still damage the transmission. It's an automatic it's not meant to be driven like a manual transmission. I had a friend who used to do this to his I think '02 accord and he had to get a new transmission due to it. If you want to drive a car like a manual BUY A MANUAL. I only drive manuals for one reason I like driving and having the control. Plus better MPG better 0-60 better control all around better... Just not in traffic Lol.

i heard its not good for the transmission to shift manually. I have the same exact car and do the same thing, but my dad who knows cars tells me its causes transmission problems, any problems with your transmission? problably nothing causes hondas are made really well

You must be used to driving a muscle car... this car should seem fast as hell to the average driver.

[wongmylesa]

Dude its either you like the car or hate it... Stop trashing it... Its a really really good car... Faster thn most in its class.. its a family sedan.. not a sports car.. 0-60 in 6.5 is good enuff ! :)

um turn TCS on next time

haha :D

[JohnAlex98]

[chivasrocks]

VTEC!!

You better tell that to the guy's in 10.5 Outlaw drag racing, they're running up to 3,000+ horsepower, probably around 2,000-2,500 FT.-LBS. of torque, on tiny little 10.5 inch tires.

[TheNewMrCool]

What the hell is your deal? It's quick. I was pointed out a fact that someone else brought up.

[KhyoteJinkens]

That car is heavy. WTF do you bitches expect out of a V6? That is Naturally Aspirated? STFU.
