Hello,
I've looked on youtube, but seems any performance reviews are for like 2008, 2011 models or it just brings you up some Evo videos. I have a 2014 Ralliart and was interested in seeing some video/ or any kind of reviews for it. Places like MT/RT/C&D and some smaller review sites don't bother with some lower level cars.
I was interested like most ppl the performance of it( 0-60, 1/4 mile, top speed, and other attributes of it). I've think I've read one place that did some stuff and they got 6.6 for 0-60, 14'ish seconds for 1/4, and 150 top speed? Has anyone done these tests themselves on a stock RA?
I did a impromptu 0-60 and got 7.7, but was hard to focus on timing, the road, and being paranoid the car hitting redline(not used to it happening). So, anyone has specs/reviews or knows a site that has video reviews of it(prefer newer models) shoot me a link or something thanks.
Any devices that track that for cheap(besides the SOLO unit, and COBB AP systems)..

 

The car has not changed much except for interior since 09. The 0-60 times should be about the same depending on your options, moon-roof, etc.

 

Torque app for Android + a cheap ELM 327 device from Ebay makes it easy to track 0-60 times and a ton of other things going on with the car. The two will cost you like 10-15 bucks.

If you are doing a test for 0-60, you shouldn't shift manually, the car can do a much better job on its own. The times you get also depend on other factors like extra passengers, elevation, etc. Also, unless you are actually going to a drag strip, 0-60 times don't really mean much at all. Stock Ralliarts tend to be rather slow off the line, but are much faster once they actually get going. Launching the car can get you a better time, but it also stresses the transmission a lot.

 

This. Base model Accords will take you off the line but once you get into the boost you'll catch up without issue. However, this car was never designed to be a straight line monster. That doesn't mean you can't (as made obvious by people on this forum and their tuned machines) but put it through some corners on a good set of tires at about 4000 rpm and you'll know why this car is great.

 

I believe our cars tops out at 120.

 

Can verify stock goes above 120 but not sure what upper limit is...

 

I was under the impression that 120 was the upper limit as well, what have you gotten it to?

 

I've had mine to 160 on the speedo. On a closed course that is. ;0) I definitely wasn't racing a pair of modded 350Zs on I-10 near Tallahassee.

 

 

Madison, Alabama eh? Please tell us you got your Ralliart modded by NASA.

For scientific verification purposes only, share with us your methodologies please.

 

I parked it under the SR71 that's out in front of the Space and Rocket Center during a lightning storm and.......it's alive! But seriously the speedo isn't exactly accurate on any car. Our are governed in the ecu to 155mph which the GST base maps remove. With the mods in my sig it's totally possible. But not advisable or sustainable. Meaning if you're in Germany don't go cursing the autobahn at 150mph+ for 30min.

 

130 but it didn't seem like it had much left to give. Fully stock car mind on street tires.

 

130 is still not bad really. I still want to do another 0-60 run on my car, but haven't had a chance too. I've done an half *** one and got 7.4, but it wasn't ideal conditions(by myself, little nervous bout hitting redline, cops in waiting ,lol), hardest was trying to time it myself, don't have a partner in crime to help(Guess I could film the speedometer and watch it and then time it?).

 

Well, I tried a 0-60 run with my car today. A few things I need to work on with launching the car that's for sure. Put in K&N drop in filter, know it didn't do much, but gave me incentive to try this again.
Had car in:
1. Sport Mode
2. Auto(let car shift its own)
3. First run had Traction control off/Second try had it on.
4. Brake pressed/giving it some gas(had some issues, brakes were creaking, probably not pressed hard enough)
5. Half tank of gas/plus my fat *** xtra weight.


1. First run I got 6.7
2. Second run I got 6.4


* Know I could do better/or worse if I could fully concentrate on driving, will have to rig up my phone better.

 

i got 0-100km/h in 4.5 with mine, s-sport traction off, launching at 3000rpm, stock wheels and tires, full weight, half tank, stock turbo on e85. I reckon i could drop to 4.2 with lightweight wheels, better tires, and removing a tad bit of weight like tools, spare and crap in the car.
