Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Tim, you're just lucky he didn't make you pull over so he could ditch his trailer and make you run 'em again!
Leading evidence: 'Run 'em' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 'em' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It is not as fast as my 996, but my Accord is fast. I raced a fully loaded 18-wheeler today and I was able to beat that pig by..... get this..... 2-1/2 car lengths in the 1/4 mile. He initially got me off the line but when 2nd gear kicked in.... he was TOAST! I don't have Sport Chrono, but I think I did the standing 1/4 mile in about 38 seconds flat!
It's only Wednesday, so I thought a few of you might need a good chuckle!
Good kill Tim, all I beat a few weeks back in the '87 was a Honda 600RR sportbike
(He must of not downshifted enough but it was funny to see him lean on the tank for less wind resistance and I still slowly walked him)
Tim I think that honda is nearly as fast in a straight line as a tip 993 (I'm ducking as I type this)
According to edmunds, an 08 Accord V6 with a manual runs 1/4 in 14.6 @ 101.6
That's faster than a Ferrari... Mondial maybe?
What the crap are they feeding these late model diesel pick'em up trucks, these days. My '00 GTI VR6 caught pure, unadulterated HELL from an extended cab, long wheelbase model through 3 gears!! they have to wiegh 3 tons, right?
Hey Wellard - I haven't been to an NHRA event in years and haven't really kept up with drag racing scene either..was shocked and sad to tune in by chance over the weekend to learn Scott Kalitta had died at the track.
Wellardmac - nice shot from Englishtown. Was that Friday, cos if so I was a few rows up from where you took that picture.
And yes, it was very tragic what happened to Scott Kalitta. Reminds us just how dangerous racing can be.
Yup, it was tragic and yes, I was there on Friday. I saw him in his pit area and I saw his runs Friday. I was then saddened to see the video of his death on Saturday. Not a good way to go, but at least it was fast and he went doing something he loved. I'm glad that I wasn't there on Saturday.
Pretty funny that you were a few rows away from where I was standing (I was at the concrete wall in front of the stands) - it's a small world.
I love the Supernationals... it's so much fun to wander around the pit areas and see these guys at work, then see the cars on the track.
Here are a few photos of the two runs that Scott did on Friday.
... now, so much for Toyota reliability.
At least the photos show that tim could have flames on the side of his car if he did the right tuning to his engine.
(and in bad taste)
He could have flames everywhere if he tuned it badly.
Flames! Yeah, that's what my POS needs.
I think I sill have my "flame template" laying aroung here somewhere. I think I kept it after I did the flames on the 996.
So, you beat the 18 wheeler. Did he stop at the truckstop during your run, or were you able to take him flat out? Oh, I forgot, you have a 4 banger with an automatic. Tim, you really are trying to forget your 996
The last Honda I owned was a CRX-SI in 86, great car.
Honda hasn't inspired me since especially the Accord but man, I really dig yours. Seriously that is a fine looking coupe.
Thank you, I apprciate the kind words.
I really am trying to like the car (OK, I'll be honest.... I am trying hard not to HATE the car) but I just haven't warmed up to it yet. Quite frankly, I don't think I will EVER warm up to it.
Porsche has spoiled me. What they say is true...... there is no substitute! Don't ask me how I know!
That was COLD, but funny!
Another observation about the Accord. You know how the 996 corners like it's on rails? Well, my Accord corners like it's on ICE! Thank goodness it has only 17 HP, other wise I could get in trouble in the twisties!
I know what I need. I am going to find some 18" X 8" wheels for the front and 18" x 11" wheels for the rear. With 11" wide wheels on the rear, I will get more traction. Oh, wait..... that won't work..... my
!@#$%^&*
POS Accord is front wheel drive.
OK, how about this....... do you think 11" wide wheels in the front and 8" wide wheels in the rear would look strange?
I like your idea!
I've got to admit that I sorta feel the same way about my Acura... it's a great car, but it's a really poor substitute for the Carrera.
Driving to work on the days when I drive the Acura are just not as fun and it's even worse when I drive home in the Carrera, then jump into the Acura to go to the gym.
it is kinda crazy, a modern accord v6 with manual runs 0-60 and 1/4 significantly faster than a 1st gen pontiac GTO or really most other mid 60s muscle cars
