JFC!!! Still hideous and huge, but man I hope this engine lands in the next ILX/RDX
This is the top trim touring too. Presumably, the lighter lower spec car will be faster. There also an interesting Si on all seasons test where it's significantly slower vs summer tires. I'd assume this accord will also see meaningful gains on summer tires.
It's relatively light at 3419lb as well. You are right, cheapo version with good tires will rip and grip, probably dipping comfortably into the 13s. Plus keep in mind this is on regular fuel...
Why am I reading the article in my paper version of the magazine and the 0-60 time is 6.1 sec and 1/4 mile of 14.7@98mph

Magazine car is red though... That should be worth at least 27hp

I'm thinking your printed copy isn't the same article? Is the car in the printed copy the 6MT model, by chance?
I had a quick drive the other day — very impressive, at least based on initial impressions. There was a lively spark in that car that's missing even from the Mazda6.

I think that's called "horsepower" :lol:

It's not just that -- but it certainly helps!
