V6 Coupe Comparo Accord vs Camaro
Based on what's known about the Accord 271HP V6 coupe and the 304HP Camaro - Which is faster: 0-60 and 1/4 and who gets better fuel mileage?? And how does MSRP compare?
I'm just trying to size up where the V6 Camaro will slot with car's it competes against |
They don't compare.

accross the board the camaro is better equiped and the honda starts at 28k, and goes up to 31k if you want navigation. the honda will get worse gas mileage and only does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds which is awfull

I'm coming from a 2004 V6 6MT Accord Coupe to a Camaro (INFERNO ORANGE, BABY). It depends on what you want - I have 70k miles and no problems at all, and I've loved the car - but I'm just so bored of it.

Handling wise - TOO MUCH TORQUE STEER WITH ALL THAT POWER GOING THROUGH THE FRONT WHEELS. It has decently good handling (poise, body roll). I honestly don't think this is a whole lot more improved on the new Accord Coupe. The weight distribution is also a dismal 62/38 i think. I was always an import guy (reliability, practical, good mileage). But I have to say, they are too conservatively styled cars to look at and drive and be happy with for like 8 years. The specs on the Camaro impressed me so much that I might say even say "screw it" to gas mileage and get the V8. Depending on what you want out of the car: Camaro > Accord Coupe |

If you can't slide the arse end out what fun is it to have?
I have a V6 2006 Accord. While is is solid car it has gotten very boring. And everybody and their brother seems to have an Accord Coupe now. I am not getting the V6 but going V8 Rally Yellow. Won't see many of these around in my neck of the woods. |
We have known track times of the 2008 Accord v6 getting low-mid 14's in the 1/4 mile. From what I've seen the Camaro will be right in that ball park. EPA estimates on the 2008 Accord v6 auto are 19 city / 29 highway which is slightly better then the numbers I've seen for the Camaro. As for price, the Base Accord v6 comes in at about $26.5k which is about $4k more then the Camaro. And even though Domestic companies have been getting better at it lately, I'd still give the build quality and reliability score to the Accord.
I don't think these cars will be direct competitors, since the Accord is basically a family sedan and the Camaro is a sport coupe. However that doesn't mean they won't meet on the road:) PS. Wow, I just noticed there's a quite a few accord owners on here getting the new Camaro or thinking of getting it. |

I started this thread as a co-worker and I have been going back and forth. He just bought a new 2009 V6 Accord EX-L w/leather and Nav for just at $29K (they are discounting the Accord here in St Louis) and he looked at my order for a 2LT/RS w MX0 for just over $30 then started in on me.
His point was why was I buying another "rear drive" sports coupe when I already have a Corvette. He makes a good point since the Camaro will be my daily driver. But that got me to think about FWD vs RWD in bad weather, then that got me thinking about what the "real world performance" difference is out on public streets (not a race track). And his logic starts making sense. Oh well that's why we ask questions - to learn. |
