Pretty much my reasoning for the car, aside from it being the last of 3 things: the accord coupe, the av6, and now, the MT accord. The sound is just intoxicating and causes me to crack Vtec far more often than I probably should LoL... In terms of performance, stock v stock, Yes the J gets the nod.. but mod v mod, your 2.0t has wayyy more easily accessible power.

I definitely can, I just rarely choose dig runs because of how hard they are on the drivetrain. Not to mention, it's just fwd. Nothing special off the line with all the wheelspin. Runs like this (40-100) are where the car really shines imo. Thank you for the compliments!
@@ChuckisNorrish what you're hearing is the intake induction noise. It has a takeda short ram intake which is what makes vtec sound so aggressive. It was my first and most mandatory mod for the car lol. Put an intake on your v6 and it should sound similar to this too. Also, yes, the exhaust does have a small mod (the ATLP 3-inch catless j-pipe) but that literally barely changed the exhaust sound.
