looking at his other vids, it looks like a WELL Tuned J swap accord. that a 260hp accord and its got I/h/e/emanage. hes probably making 240-250whp.

the J's series motors are very underrated for a tuner platform. there are alot of accord coupes that are fully tuned that would punish a stock s2k. ive seen a 05 coupe BPU+emanage run 13.5@107! thats moving for a 3100lbs coupe. think of them as 350z sleepers.

Accord coupes are very capable cars.

My buddy has a stock '03 6 speed Accord V6 coupe. It's a pretty heavy car for 240hp, but they have some torque to help. We were fooling around one time (his wife was riding with me and he was trying to convince her to let him get an S) and we both assumed my 06 S would just crush the accord coupe. We were both rolling--I with the top down and him just with the windows open and a bit of jealousy.

He revved a bit and took off, and I followed just after. I don't remember what speed we took off at or how long I waited to downshift into vtec (I did wait a full second before I dropped down). I didn't catch him (we only went 30-70 or so)--both of us were surprised because we just figured I'd pull lengths as soon as dropped into vtec regardless of the headstart. It impressed us with his car--I had never really given V6 Accords a thought!
It also made me realize how easy it is to hold the lead if you get a headstart!

My wifes 03 coupe 6speed has punished a few 350z's from a roll. The Z will get one on top speed though, the accord is governed at 135.

i had a 6spd coupe as well and i would imagine if you got the jump on a s2k or a stock z they'd have a hard time catching up, if it was only rwd i wouldve kept mine. oh well nice vid
