Will the 6 people who voted for the Accent please take an Ex-lax. You are cutting off much needed air to your brain. Either that or release the sphincter muscle tension around your neck. Blood flow through the brain aids in decision making.

I beat an Accent this morning for about 100 feet. If I had my bicycle, instead of running sneakers, I would've taken it in the 1/8th.

I'm not insulted that anyone wants to race me; isn't it all for fun? Just destroying him would be enough in a race, theres no reason to get all snobby about things. I love when people think my car is a piece of **** and then I waste em..

One of my friends has a festiva, and another one has a TII. They both like to race their cars. Of course, the TII stomped the Festiva, but it wasn't an "insult."

A 2001 hyundia accent isint even remotly close to an rx7 in any way shape or form execpt that they are both cars.
Put it this way dude this post depressed the hell outa me cuz it makes ppl think that us 2nd gen owners are out there racing such **** boxes as Hyundia accents and ****. Please itd be a complete joke racing this dude dont even bother. Its not even a question youd kill him with a TII not to mention you could beat him with any rx7 model ever made

aha, most of you are going to get a kick out of this, today i said "i found someone who is willing to race you, if you still havent come back down to earth" and he said "i dont wanna race an rx-7, i know ill get beat, its not in the same class as my car"

that befuddled me, only 2 days before he was talking about rx-7's being slow ....etc etc... but whatever works, i guess he got some much needed intelligence back and remembered that it was a civic he was keeping up with the other night, not a ferrari, whatever it was, hes not BSing anymore, so its all good.

I wouldn't get the TII out. I'd race him in my first gen. No need wasting good 93 octane on an Accent

I cannt believe this thread is still active

I cannt believe that someone would actually think an Accent would kill a RX7 (whichever model )
(unless it was a WRC Accent )

I cannt believe that you guys over there in the US dont have your **** together (as it seems...) Over here guys just drool over my TII, and most of them even know its specs
(and of course they dont start saying that thier Daewoo or Huyndai will kill my TII )

eh well its all nice and settled now... btw we raced 2 civics in his accent alst night and beat both of em but his car had 0 pickup after about 122mph he keeps saying we hit 130 but i was glued to the speedo watching the pickup, it was better than a civic (haha 2 of them) beat both of em, the worst part was that the fender well wasn bolted in and the speed we were going or the insane driving one knocked it out of place and it melted when it hit the tire going that fast, so we gotta replace his fender well, anyway, catch you east coast guys at NOPI

Specs here.

Video here.

It ran a 12.01 @ 133mph with plenty of wheel spin at it's first meet and has since run some high 10sec passes.
That thing is no longer an accent it has a lancer motor, a TRUE Lancer (not the **** they sell here), is a bad *** car. Ever watch rally racing?

My 87 Base N/A with nothing more than an air filter for a engine mod would whoop his *** and if there are ANY turns involved there is no chance in hell.

Dont forget theres a 8 or 9 second 1/4 mile tercel around so believe that the accent can have a chance if more was done to it personally i like the idea of a known slow car beating mine if it had mods done to it. ive got a dodge colt and im dropping a 4g63t into it thats the old dsm eclipse engine in a 2300 pound car btw its been weight reducted only one seat! so maybe 2100 pounds but watch out rex's this ones gonna kill so many haters at the street races epecally the horrible honda guys i hate so much lol

I watched a guy in an accent pound a money pit FD, and Z06, and a mkIII supra, amongst other less worthy to mention cars. Of course it had two engines, four turbos, and no body mass. It didn't steer worth a damn but if he runs on a straight...how many cars do we running the streets that'll beet 10.02?
