Not sure what spec you get in the US but in the UK we have a low power and a high power version putting out 198bhp & 238bhp respectively.

Could have been the former.
in the us, autos are 198bhp and the manuals are 238 - both are incredibly slow.

I don't know if you were talking to me or not, but if you were I never said that the Accord would get destroyed. I said that drivers being equal, the Accord would lose. I don't need to look up the numbers on the Accord, I own one.
I was talking to yellows2kpower. Just wondering if you have navi in your accord?

The Accord is really quick for what it is, but it's hard to even catch a G35 off guard because of their torque advantage. No, I unfortunately am navi-less. I wanted it but at the time I bought my car I couldn't find one in the state in the color I wanted with navi (and I'm impatient so I got it anyway).

Finding a spd manual accord is so rare. They have more s2000's than 6 spd accords. At the dealer I went to, they only had one 6 spd accord with no navi, I'm also impatient and I got it right away.

The accord is bad ass. My G-friend has the V6 auto, the engine is incredible and matched with a 6 speed I wouldn't be surprised if it could keep up with a G35. The engine is much nicer than the Z/G35 engine and I should now, I owned one.
I read up on it a while back (when she got it) cause I was so impressed with that engine. Slap a header and an exhaust on it and you'll be keeping up with the S2000, I forget where and which exhaust it was but a guy had posted a dyno showing a 28hp gain on his 6 speed from the exhaust alone.

Is the Accord v6 engine better than the G35's? I thought the g35 won awards for the best for v6 from a magazine. I'm not sure which one but i'll have to take a look at that. Do you know what brand for the headers and exhaust i could buy to get a noticeable change in performance?
