I think some motorcycles have been built with V-4 designs.

Lada, that fantastic Russian built car has used V4's in the past. There are some others, but I am not in the mood to look for them.

My GSR ran a 15.1 stock. I know how to drive it though. The Accord is a heavy family car, and if it is an automatic, you will barely hit 16's.

I owned both cars and the GSR will out accerlerate any Accord (V6 or L4, manual or auto) any day, whether it is 0-60 or 1/4 miles.

The GSR only comes with manual tranny, which by the way, has a awesome snick-snick feel. GSR has 170HP, Type R has 190HP.

No Accord has a V4 engine. Is a Inline 4.

Agreed. Boxer engines are horizontally-opposed. Two pistons push out while the other two are in line facing an opposite direction coming in, then the cycle flips, dips, and does a lil dance.

i've driven both, and like i said, a v6 accord will give a gsr a run for its money.

my sister has a CL (same thing as an accord v6) and it would easily out pace a stock gsr.


and for the record, this thread has no BMW content whatsoever...

Dude calm down. Nobody said JDM sucks, we just said this is a BMW board and let's try to keep it that way. We welcome discussion about Hondas so long as it has some grounding in BMW

**** all that. JDM is better than BMW in certain ways... BMW is better than JDM in certain ways.


Leave moderating to the moderators. If the mods don't think a thread belongs here, they will move it/delete it. I won't name names, you know who you are. Sit down and shut the **** up. Kthx.
