I've been in a little argument with a guy about whos car would win between a S5 Turbo II and a 2001 Accent 1.6L with an intake on it.. pretty sure the TII would hand him his rear end, just wanna know if anyone has any experience with these things, and just for the record, i dont have my car yet...but im aiming for a series 5 TII or a third gen
im talking about drag strip / quarter mile (yes, i know this is out of both cars realm of competition are far as optimal environment, but i just want to see how many people think their is an actual competition between these two cars)

 

umm is this a joke? In terms of performance, the Accent does not have anything even coming close to resembling a chance againist a T2 or an FC or an FB.

 

its not a joke to him, it makes me laugh though.
( edit begins here)
oh yeah, his is a 5 speed, and the one im going to buy will without a doubt be one also, i wouldnt buy an automatic rx-7 :P..

 

well, lets put it this way
last time i went to the track, a 2001 Accent ran, and got a 19.4 1/4 mile time, stock S5 TII's can run high 14's stock, so there is absolutely no competition whatsoever

 

Thank you for stressing my point

 

The Hyundai would definatley win....i mean...it's got America's best warrenty....come on they Hyundai does have like 100hp to the flywheel...we gotta be reasonable

 

thats what i thought, but he insists he will hand me my behind and i insist that he is full of :BSS:

 

i raced a hyundai accent in my 86 nissan multi (stanza wagon in the US) its an ugly looking boxy minivan/wagon/suv type looking thing with 97hp. it was neck in neck, but i pulled on him a little cuz i can 5h1Ft m@D K\/\/ik!

 

Lol, my gf's mom has a 99 accent, i think i got it to 70 goign down a hill once, its a Very slow car

 

Race him for money. Lots of it.

 

:ROFL:

 

hell yes, this will be the easiest money you will ever make. hands down

 

CHA CHING!!!

 

****, even the tiberon(sp?) is slow as ***!!


It has like 180 flywheel hp, and weighs like 4000lbs..


It felt like it was standing still when flooring it...

Be serious I had my *** handed to me by an Accent the other day, I couldn't believe it! That's okay though next time I'll take it off the jackstands, then what's up! I want my $2000 back! *goes off to cry*

 

Too close to call.
It'll come down to who's the better driver.

 

lol i'd race one of these on my bike. the TII could be the accent going backwards, they are slowwwww

 

"not a joke to him"

Haha. Tell him youll keep it in 2nd gear the whole race.

 

Race him for 500$ or something. If he thinks he has a chance he wont let you keep it in second Tell him you dont use fifth

 

Ask if you can have help, someone else pushing behind the car

 

i wanna race him. tell him i will race him for $1k and i will give him a 5 ft head start

 

so far looks like survey says TII wins..just like i told him.. now i get to wait till january when i have all the money together to buy a TII :|

 

What? Who voted for the accent? There was 2 votes up there. Show your self. Oh ya by the way i will race a hime and hive him a headstart.

The fact that you even have to ask a question like that means you dont spend enough time thinking about RX7's. Shame on you! Now go start reading

 

heh personally i thought without a doubt it would beat his car, but he insisted that im one of those people that "thinks the car i want is the best in the world" he needs to take a look in the mirror... 110HP at the flywheel stock, plus probably 20 or so for his air filter, and he kicked his muffler off....he was BSing today that he had 250HP, thing is, he -used- to be one of my friends, until he started running his mouth saying i didnt know anything about racing, etc etc, so i know exactly whats under the hood of his car, and he was BSing that rx-7's were slow... etc etc, and that his accent would take it to school without a problem, and that he wanted to be the first one to get a kill on me, etc etc... if any of you boys are near alabama and wanna kill a cocky guy in an accent, id be happy to direct you his way, i want to take him out, but one rex killing him is as good as another
