Talking Hybrid Accord 0-100mph video

Nothing quite as fun or fast as my old evo, but good enough for 500mi intervals for fill ups city/hwy driving.

0-60 appears to be right around 6 seconds and even with the sticky z rated tires on the 17" hfp wheels I'm still getting wheel spin if I punch it from a dead stop as you can tell with the traction control light momentarily blinking on at the start.

ps.. sorry for the shake towards the end of the video

I ended up paying 34k with all the options including the Nav system, metal interior trim. What part of VA do you live in?

Yeah it is a 6cyl part of the time and 3 cyl when not needing the extra hp. "The Integrated Motor Assist System (IMA™) is composed of a gasoline engine and an electric motor, and has several important functions. Located between the engine and transmission, the electric motor supplies additional power during acceleration. It also functions as a high-speed starter and as a generator for the charging system during regenerative braking."

All info you could ever ask for regarding the Drivetrain

haha I wish! But no they run low to mid 15's stock and perhaps with a good launch and manually shifting the gears it can get into the 14's.
