cliff notes? if all you're gonna do is just start threads posting links to somewhere else, you should give us a bit more than a click bait title

It's the only affordable American car that fits the original family car-based mid-size, two door , big-engined, iffy handling, fast car. On a side note, I don't think the changed mechanically since 2013 so they're available used for the people who need a daily commuter that has some go.

"Stock, outdated 40-roll-machine Honda Accord preys on outdated stock Evo & STIs"

Lightsaber

V6 Accords are indeed comfy, powerful cars, but I think manual Challengers are the better candidate for a throwback American muscle, because the Challenger is RWD (right-wheel drive), not FWD (wrong-wheel drive) like the Accord.

Accords are so popular and have been winning among the niche of low-key luxury car buyers, so I think Honda should at least offer an AWD version on top of manual. Imagine like an Accord coupe with manual and AWD. It will be more awesome than the Infiniti G car.

That would basically be a 2 door Acura TL SH-AWD. Which in itself, is a nice car.

I liked the infiniti g35 better than accords. More luxurious, more comfortable drive, the 07-08 had the vq35hr motor (torque-y, very boost-able on stock internals, get sideways have fun family car), and sleek looking.

if by boostable you mean superchargeable, sure...

I've never heard of a turbo VQ thats not constantly going back to the shop for some reason or another... best you might be able to get away with would be a very low boost stock internals setup, thats still a maybe though

Lmao that's funny warmmilk. Known for over 500tq on stock internals reliably. Go over to my350z.com and do some research. I had a vq35DE 350z and it held 416tq on stock internals with a t66 reliably for over a year. Beaten on daily. The HR is a beast engine. The DE is the weaker one you may be talking about.

I had a 350Z for a while, I followed all the turbo builds cause it was something I considered doing. the only ones that lasted were ones that ran low boost around 350-380whp.

you can't deny that you're in the extreme minority that didn't have any issues with a turbo VQ build... what happened after a year?

I've also never heard anything good come from some trying to build a decent power turbo VQ setup.

I had an old '89ish Accord Lxi. That thing was a kick in the *** to drive. Torquey little bugger.
