The Accord and Camry engines have a long lifetime along which for the design to be refined... even my 1990 Camry was damn smooth, and got 35mpg.

Yesyes, it is the same engine. It's a highly durable unit, with lots of low end torque and mid range punch. I thought you got a turbo MR2 Pseudo. Btw what year is your MR2?

Yeah those Accord V6s arn't too bad when it comes to speed. I remember when my mom just got her 2001 Mustang V6 5-speed and she let me drive it around one night... bad idea. This dude with a '99 Accord V6 with an intake, computer chip, and a full dual exhaust asked if I wanted to race. The first time we raced I missed 2nd gear, because I wasn't used to the car, and redlined it pretty bad. I was really pissed at myself. Well I had to race him again... so I raced him at the same spot at a roll and he beat me fairly easily. Then when we pulled off somewhere he enthusiastically announced..."and that's without the chip!!" Oh well no big deal to me. Btw... I really like how those newer Mustangs drive. I give the V6 Mustang more credit than most people would. It's funny because just the other night my friend with the '97 Civic EX wanted to race me again... We've raced before when he didn't have his exhaust. So when my mom let me take the car out last night we didn't officially race but when we got on the ramp to get on highway 49 we both gunned it (he was in front of me) and I stayed on his bumper very easily! I'm just trying to pass some time before me and my dad get my Pro done! Can't wait to here that sweet turbo!

My buddy has an '88 gti, all motor, getting around 250hp to the wheel. A 13s car. That thing is sweet too. The last race I seen him win was against a supercharged Avenger V6 and it was no match.

Depending on the year of the Mustang, the V6 is a DOG of an engine. It's like 150hp, and the cars weighed like 3300lbs or something crazy like that. '99 and up I think the V6s put out about 190, they are much quicker.

I'm not suprised that a GTI could whip them. They're little pocket rockets, even the older ones. He'd only have to be running high 14s to beat both the accord and mustang, maybe even a tad slower.

the only way a protege can win is if it updates to a stronger engine. Damn i seen one that has 180hp. ITs a v6 too. DAmn add an intake and some other stuff it will be a killer. SO PROTEGE CAN BEAT A HONDA!!
