[QUOTE="danc, post: 167253, member: 2441"] Hi Guys, Hope you all don't mind but would like to share abit. Found this site as I am looking to change my 3.0 accord to an E90. Let me state that I don't go racing on public roads etc. but here is my take. The power linearity of the 3.0 VTEC is better than the 328 auto, manual... cannot compare lah not fair:p . (My neighbour drives a 328 auto and have tried the car a couple of times) 0-100 km/h the accord will be slower at about 8 sec (A/C on and just driver) but when the accord is in its stride say crusing at 120-150 km/h over taking at these speeds is no problem just stomp down and it will hit 200 km/h easily. The VTEC engine gets a second wind past 4500 rpm and will pull all the way to redline. This is very intoxicating and just love doing this once in a while when the roads are really clear. (However lately, since last year or so have been driving like an Ah Pek never drove faster than 110, age setting in I guess) I heard that the 3.0 accord has a built in speed limiter at 215 km/h but maybe that guy may have removed it.;) So for a 328 to take on a 3.0 accord on the straight roads my guess is the 328 will be sucking on the 3.0's fumes BUT get on to the twisties the 3.0 will be left for dead. All the power but no way of putting in down in the bends. I believe sometimes it's not only the power-to-weight ratio that determines speed. Driving a rear wheel drive through a longer drive shaft will need to be factored in say versus a FWD car. Just my thoughts Cheers and drive safely [/QUOTE]
