the reason you cant run High Compression rates with boost is most usually because of detonation, but since the direct injection eliminates early detonation, i would guess about 5-6 lbs of boost. (speculative)

What are the numbers for an Accord?

like i said that is speculative, and by no means scientific or tested, but my Guess would be it should handle that without a problem.

V6 Camaro should be 5.9-6.0 0-60.
What can I say? It's not a particularly light car.

Right now, manufacturers estimates for the V6 is 14.3 1/4. Thats with the old 6.1 0-60. I think it will break into the 13's with a good driver, no problem.

Moderate suspension and power mods and you'll be running down GTs (13.7 1/4? Puh-lease...)

ok let me rephrase that chevy should not of allowed a camaro to be beaten by the accord V6. no ifs and or buts lets all just hope GM will really get it together and make the V6 at least beat the V6 accord.

beat is a pretty vague word! If you are talking straightline from a stop, how can we know until this car is on the street. Other than launching into straightlines I think the camaro wins hand down on all fronts, JMO!
