What's faster-Fit, older Accords?
I'm curious. I have two friends with accords. One is a 2000 Accord coupe V6, the other is a 2001 Accord four door with the mid-range 4 cyl. Going off of 0-60 times, the Fit MT runs around 8.7-10 secs? How does this compare to those older Accords? All I can find online are for other years/engines.

Well I think you can bet you'll get smoked by the v6, and in a straight line, I'd doubt you be able to touch the four either with its 2.3.
Fits ain't fast...
edit* but then again the 2.3 is only 135hp. I think Tool is right, it would be a close fight.

the j series engine in the 2000 v-6 accords is actually the same that was used in the 03-07 versions....those made more power due to some ecu retuning and revised intake manifolds...i think the net power gain was some 40hp! Obviously a stock fit doesnt' stand a chance against that, but against a 200hp 2000 accord, i still think that the fit would loose the upper hand, and you'd have to REALLy flog it to keep up.
even the f23 came in a 150hp version, and that alone may be enough to trounce the fit. the 135hp version may not get away so easily. and most f23's that you'll encounter would be the 150hp version, as only the dx got the 130 hp verison, and i can't even remember the last time i saw a 97-02 dx accord.

do they have manual transmissions? the V6 will probably smoke a fit. the 4 cylinder will be close. especially if it has an automatic.
0-60 times are not as important as 1/4 mi. times in terms of racing.
you'd have a better chance on a race track than a drag strip.

I'd put my money on a manual Fit over any automatic 4 cylinder Accord and over almost any automatic N/A 4 cylinder. Low torque and auto's are a bad match. The QR25 and old KA24's in Nissan's are an exception because they're fairly torquey. I'm sure there are other exceptions also. The v6 would destroy the Fit though.

My 92 accord had an f22a1, h23 intake manifold, cold air intake, megan header, and greddy sp2 exhaust with the stock trans only put down a 16.4 in the quarter, I swapped that for the m2b4 h22 lsd trans but never made it to the track, but it made a hell of a difference, but without it the Fit feels quicker
