You were better off testing with an Automatic.. lol
+centfla I know :-) - Dave, Everyman Driver
I was just about to comment that.
90% of people are.
But you can get to 60 in 2nd gear
@@miller5490 so can my 01 prelude
launch at 2 grand and ease the throttle. Dont just floor it.
6 years later and my automatic 3.5L V6 still runs 5.6 sec 0-60. Can get to 0-80 at about 7.1. I LOVE a standard transmission but you should have used the automatic buddy. Fun to watch tho 💯
eh, dont tell him what he should have done
Great video! Some tips: start from 2000rpm in second gear(because of its low end torque it should do up to 6 tenths of a second faster due to less wheel spin) by the way you should be able to hit 60 right before shifting to third. Keep making this great videos and good luck!
Dont rev it to 4000, try 2800 - 3500
Pre-loading the suspension helps -- with the manual transmission, that usually involves using the handbrake. If you are going to launch in 1st gear, you'll want to turn off ESC and keep the revs lower on launch, say around 2 or 3 thousand RPM. Another option is to launch in 2nd gear, so you don't have to shift at all to get to 60. The 2nd gear is aggressive enough that you can do that. Also, don't shift up prematurely, if you are shifting much before 6800 rpm you are giving away some time. You shouldn't need to use 3rd gear at all.
Great engine sound from the V6, but dont rev it so high at launch.
"Too much spin!!" dont rev it to 4-5k then... you dont learn if you keep reving it that high and keep saying too much spin..
Dave, I recommend a clutch-launch class with a pro on a racetrack. There's a fine art in engaging the clutch partially to let it slip to build torque at a reasonable RPM (like around 3,500) without causing wheel spin, and when you're up to 20 MPH or so you lift your foot for full clutch engagement and hammer the throttle, tires fully hooked up. Granted doing this repeatedly can overheat and warp the clutch. It's certainly not how you do it at every stop sign going to get a gallon of milk... (although I'm definitely guilty of this...) But when you really wanna just haul a$$, that's the trick. It takes practice, lots, and one of the rogue variables is the shift of your body mass and the resultant fine motor tweaks you need to accommodate to hold those clutch and throttle positions.
yea u should've revved it to like 2 or 3 for less wheel spin and a faster time
Two words you need to learn and practice. Pre-Load and Powershift. I took my 2015 Honda Accord Coupe V6 Manual to the track and had problems getting my tires to hook up. After talking to a few people in my crowd I learned these two words and did the quarter mile in 14.4 @ 99 mph, I know magazines claim faster times.
Thanks for the awesome videos Dave!!!
this car can do low to mid 5's, this video needs a different driver. The 2016 Honda Accord Coupe V6 w/6 speed manual is a BAD-ASS car and this guy did not do it justice...not even close w/that 9 second run !
Maaaan it shouldve been 5.5 secs!!!! Manual transmission come on!
Accords coupe v6 do 5.5 tested
Just purchased this car, a V6 6-speed manual in black. During the weekend I installed a friend's Advan RSII racing rims in 18x9.0 et35 and 18x10.0 et35 on 245/40/18 and 265/35/18 on Sumitomo summer tires. The combined tire/rim package is around 9-11lbs lighter on each corner. According to Car and Driver they were able to get a 0-60 m.p.h. around 5.6 seconds on the stock 18x8.0 rims that are grossly heavy and the non sticky all season tires. With the new tire and rim package were able to get a 0-60 around 5.4 seconds. We launched the car at 2000 r.p.m. (still too much spin). Overall, the Accord has too much torque to get adequate launch times. Another factor that was even more noticeable is acceleration once the car was rolling. Then again, these rims aren't cheap and cost around 2,500.00 brand new. You gotta pay to play.
You're revving the ever loving hell out of a FWD car. Weight transfers away from the drive wheels so its not going to hook at those revs.
You are getting way better at the 0-60mph runs. I am impressed. I am not sure I could beat your time but it would be fun to try! I would need a cool timer like yours though.
I remember trying to 0/60 my first Honda. You can get faster times by learning to drive fast. Get to the race track. Take a course on how to drive fast man. Seems like your making this up as you go along.
guy has to learn to drive a manual
I have the 2013 EXL V6 6AT and it’s extremely fast for an auto. Good transmission by Honda. I think these engines are closer to 300 hp stock than advertised. It needs an LSD, like my 05 TL 6MT had and it would be a real sweet sports coupe. Better anyway. It’s already sweet.
I was waiting for this ever since you uploaded the first look on the 2016 accord! thanks for the upload.
Dave, I think you need to do two or three things. For a FWD naturally aspirated with a good amount of torque and hp, you need to rpm to probably about 2500-3000 max to get a good launch (I'd say). For this Honda, I believe you can keep it in second gear and get to 60 mph. On a different note, I wouldn't recommend to drive in neutral in the public roads. Keep your car in gear. In case of an emergency where you need to accelerate, brake, or swerve you will have a lot more control over the car with a much faster reaction.
all that power from a sohc... this is why I love hondas
Launch at lower RPM, dramatically short shift 1st (5000rpm) and short shift 2nd a bit around 6000
My 2016 Civic with 1.5l turbo and cvt shouldn't have faster 0-60 times than what you're doing in a V6 Accord lol. I'm able to get in the 6.5 to 6.6 second range. That Accord should be a whole second faster than my car. Great videos as always.
many people have hit 4.5 seconds with this model before, i know you're 2000ft above sea level, but that doesnt call for reving it so high at launch. rev it up to 3 grand, dump the clutch and floor it. this is an easy way to prevent lots of wheel spin and get a better time.
Skylight FX that's just a blatant lie. no one is sub 5 seconds in this stock.
aside from tcs change, you kept launching at the same rpm expecting different results.
Dave needs a driving school. All there is to it at this point.
Pretty accurate. The speedometer is usually a couple of miles off, if checked by GPS.
HFP version (Honda Factory Performance) of the V6 manual coupe will get 5 seconds flat. I have personally done it (on the 3rd try after owning the car for a month). The HFP comes with a stiffer suspension, 19" wheels and summer only tires, and of course all the body mods and interior goodies (ups the price 6 grand and was a limited edition, cut off after 500 HFP kits sold per year in all of U.S.). So when and if you see a Dealer installed HFP edition Accord, it is truly a rare car. In another video, the guy was hitting 60 in second gear; you just need to red line it. The same guy also did better than Everyman Driver times in very rainy weather and starting in 2nd gear. This Honda is notoriously geared for low torque, so it takes time and feel for the car to get the 5.5 the stock version is rated for. But from personal experience, summer only tires makes quite a big difference on any performance vehicle, since they are much more sticky and planted... but seem to wear out faster.
Dude it's the tires! The Michelin primacys are soft and designed for comfort and for increasing gas mileage. That car should run consistently under 7 seconds with no issues.
I commented on your video of a civic si before regarding your 0-60 attempts lol. Your videos are good quality. Your confidence keeps me watching. I just very much wish I could launch cars for you lol.
+Matthew Schrader I wish you could show me how to launch it too :-) - Dave, Everyman Driver
+Everyman Driver Ever in Seattle? If so I'll teach you on my 2001 itr :D
as people have pointed out, you shouldn't rev the engine so high on a take off. Wheelspin sounds cool, but it really slows you down. You have to get that smooth start so the wheels can grab, and then rip it. I'm not a fan of Honda, but this car should hit 60 in at most 6seconds.
Lovin your Honda videos! Honda for life! Thanks m8
Its rather sad that we're dealing with a SOHC V6 in a 2016 model year car. Surely Honda can do better than 278 hp.
+Sykohtic Would be more if it was calibrated for premium gas and not regular. But 278hp for FWD car is enough in my opinion.
It should do 0-60 in about 5.5 secs.
+Jrion
Yeap, maybe even 5.4 sec.
+Jrion at sea level, at 2k' at 75 degrees it will be about a second slower.
oldtwins na why is that?
+Jrion, air is thinner at that altitude.
Tony Iacona I dont get it.
Launch between 2000-2500; hold 2nd all the way to 60 (the gearing and tire size should allow you to get there without going for 3rd); try double clutching.
My 2004 BMW 325 CI 2.5L manual coupe is rated at a measly 184 hp compared to the 330's 225hp and I managed 7.30's a couple of times with a little wheel spin. BMW claimed the e46 325 2.5L manual did 7.1 seconds 0-60 and the 330's 3.0L did 6.3 seconds. Low 7's on the e46 2.5L tells me BMW under rated the 2.5L with only .08 of a seconds between the two cars. It would seem to be more like 200 hp. This Accord Coupe V6 manual will be my next daily car when I decide to let my e46 go.
I enjoy your reviews alot, especially because you represent the average driver. Here is my thought though, and I am not trying to be insulting by saying this. Why don't u spend some time in a high performance driving school, such as Bob Bondurant, or something similar. U could probably even make that into an everyman video. I am sure while u were there, u would learn car control techniques, such as drifting, and proper launch techniques as well. Not to mention proper heel and toe, and rev matching. Just my two cents. Thank you again for the excellent and unbiased reviews. I am certainly jealous of the opportunity that u have made for yourself, and of u getting to work with Melissa too.
These are always fun to watch. It look like fun.
Should look at launching it around 2.5-3k to avoid the spinning
You should not need 3rd gear to hit 60 , that's your mistake, the time you took to shift could have been left on throttle. Launch at 2000rpm and slip it out on the clutch as you feed more gas to balance that wheel spin with traction , its a trade off. Red line is not the rev limiter , you can do 60 in the first 2 gears without hurting the car.
Take it to the drag strip and get some more useful info then 0-60 times. 0-60 is based too much on traction. Trap speed would be more useful.
You should go to a driving school if you plan on doing these 0 to 60 reviews. You are doing a disservice to these vehicles.
Funny thing about wheel spin is it's just a ton of wasted energy. With the right technique, I'm sure that car would sit in the 6 sec range at 2000ft
Hold it at 2k rpms, roll into throttle. You are getting significant torque steer, as well. Traction control off.
In the Manual, you're better off just starting from a ZERO dig. Foot in clutch and gas about half pedal whilst letting go. Shift points are not at the top of the RPM band 6300-6500rpm is as far as you need to go so that you fall back on max torque again. Cheers! Mid 5's are very possible in the M/T. The Automatic is roughly .2-.3sec faster.
You can snag one of these with 40k miles for about $24k. With that type of 0-60 it's better than an Acura for the price.
Factory rated is 5.2 Seconds....you were really off...but still you did a great job..next time if you were to ever do a 0-60 again for this car rev it to 2000-3000 because this isn't a i4 its a V6..so a lot more low end torque.
haha not bad Dave! Try below 3k next time for less wheel spin, even though all the weight up front those tires are still pretty skinny. Keep up the good work!
Starting off way to hot for a fwd car with lots of low end torque. Pretty certain your over revving the engine. Just because it can hit 7000 rpm doesn't mean you should. It's peak power is at 6200 and peak torque at 4900. I would shift closer to the peak power.
Try launching at around 2500-3k rpm. Too much torque too soon is causing the wheel spin. Motor Trend and Car and Driver were both able to get around 5.6-6.0 seconds out of this car. Higher elevations shouldn't effect it that much.
That enginge sounds oh so sweet. They should get into racing...:-D
Probably want to rev it no more than 2500-3000 RPM and maybe start in second gear. What's was temperature the day you did the test? Road temperature will affect your time as well as temperature and pressure of your tires. Hence the need for a quick burnout before your run (traction control off for the burnout).
because he know how to drive manual it does not mean he is a drag racer!!! so to be consistent, he should hire a better driver to test this!
I should 'hire' a driver. That's not in my budget :-)
btw i always end up watching your reviews............=)
elite kill the Stig?
Maybe a few more runs would have helped. You don't have to do it all in one take.
2k above sea level, do you know what is call elevation?
Another fantastic 0-60 review!!
Don't rev it so high to start. Try 2 to 3000 rpm. Its rated at sub 6 seconds. Probably not your fault if your half a mile above sea level.
Lol, I think you got a bit of a rolling start on that last run but, that was an awesome video! Thanks & good job!
with the stock tires you definitely don't want to rev so high off the line. you'll spin your tires all day. it was no coincidence you did better on your last run when you didn't get up to 5,000 from the jump.
i have the same car and if you dont want any wheel spin launch at 2000 or 2500 rpms and make sure you let the clutch go perfectly. i hit 0-60 in 4.5 seconds
I've watch a bunch of your videos , this was my favorite
+MNC122703 I appreciate it, thank you. By the way, what do you drive? - Dave, Everyman Driver

Booyah....I drive a 2015 honda odyssey ex .. I watched your review on it before I purchaced . also have a 98 mustang convertible with only 33k , one word ....Custom.
I'll
have a video up of stang soon ,I too am 5'11" lol
this is a 3 second car. you forgot to engage AWD .

+Hector Bedolla This was a nice idea in 2011, but it has not been made commercially available in the US. I am curious, what country do you live in? Here in the US the only sedans you can get with SH-AWD by Honda are the gas-powered Acura TL or newer TLX, or the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid with the electric motor technology featured in this 2011 video you shared. Very nice vehicles.
I have a 2010 V6 6MT definitely need to launch it way lower on rpms around 2K to avoid excessive wheel spin and keep traction control off. I dunno if gearing is a little different but I can hit 60 in second gear.
Secret to launch these and do 0-60 is starting in second gear. It's got plenty of power to do it smoothly. You will shave at least half a second.
Dave try launching around 2500-3000 to lessen wheelspin
launch at 3k and dump you clutch a little slower so everything lines up for a smoother launch
You just have to be able to drive stick well. I can usually get a good launch with no wheel spin. It takes control. Never put traction control on. Wind out 1st and 2nd and don't use third if you can avoid it.
Lol Good job Dave, fun video, you all be safe up there, hope Joaquin dies out before she makes it to the East Coast!
hey dave! the wheels are cold so they wont grib, rev up to 2500 to 3000 and a little bit slower on the release of the clutch and red line every gear.... should get to 60 in just second gear:) Try that next time, should help. works on my 2007 mazda 6, 5 speed manuel
With some wider tires this car is something to look out for!
I run consistent 6.2s in my 03 accord coupe with a 4 banger and 5 speed manual, only thing done to it is an intake and better tired (Yokohamas). I'd kill for this car your driving lol same color as mine. Nice vid!
This car is capable of under 6. Try launching around 2500-3k rpm, traction control off,and feather the throttle your self to control wheel spin yourself.
Was the Eco mode on? Not sure if it'll make a different but I have an EX Sedan (2014) 6mt and when I turn the eco button off, you can definitely tell a difference! The car typically has it on, just a thought, might help
This guy guarantees to get the worst launches with a manual transmission
The rpm he's launching at is too high!
1800 is the best rpm for launch. Any more and the tires spin, which you figured out, any less and the engine bogs. How do I know this? I had an 08 6/6 coupe. At the track my 1/4 mile times were 13.9-14.2 at 98-99 mph... 1800... Trust me....
Looks like you got a bit better Dave.
he does not know how to drive manual transmission, he is talking while trying to get to 60 mile/hr he does not pay attention .or simply he does not like honda cars. accord v6 is 5.5 sec to 60 car
+Sarkiss Eywaz Hmm, interesting assumptions.
+Everyman Driver my 2010 6cyl coup is about 6.5 to 60... YES depends on tires... I have sticky Goodyears.. factory tires not so good.
Dude you're killing me. You rev the engine waayyy too high then wonder why you get so much wheelspin. Turn tc off, don't rev the engine so high (no more than 3500 RPM, maybe less), and feather the throttle depending on the amount of wheelspin that you get. Goes for pretty much all vehicles
Launch at lower RPMs and try launching in 2nd gear so there isn't quite as much torque and wheel spin.
Car can get easy 5.6-5.8 with driver mod
Got to go with the V6 in that car. Great video ..!
Get an automatic trans and put it on Sport Mode! I get a little over 5 seconds on mine!
Pretty much same as a KIA optima turbo. Nice video.
Dave, can you also test 0-60 times using only about 4000 rpm?
I almost never push my car to 6~7000 rpm.
In the real world, I don't think that many people would be comfortable to push
their family sedan or coupe to the red line.
Thanks
Good review. but we all know this car is much faster than its 0-60 time suggests. in a 40 roll, this accord would kill evo 10s and sti's. I know this because I have an Evo X, and the j series are not to be trifled with, especially top end.
It would be better to get into second gear earlier. That should eliminate some of the front wheel spin and give you a better 0-60 time.
this is not a 0-60 car. it's a daily driver w a little pep. launch it the way he launches it for a week and that car is shot
Sure looks good.
Stop reving so high......you're not getting enough traction!
You should easily be hitting below the 7 sec. mark.....Maybe you should try to get the automatic, 6 cyl. coupe and let the car do the shifting.
+777PharmD777, Car and Driver got this car to 60 mph. in 5.6 seconds......I'm sure that was under the most perfect conditions however.......Dave should easily achieve sub 7 seconds without the wheel spin.
Dave needs to relax a bit while attempting these 0-60 times......especially with the front wheel drive cars.
+777PharmD777 , I have never seen, or heard of a 0 - 60 mph...using a "rolling start".......Rolling starts are typically 0 - 60 mph, or 30 - 60 mph in an higher gear......so this is news to me.
I have a friend with a 2013 v6 Accord coupe that achieves a 0 - 60 mph time of a low 6 sec. mark........consistently.
The timing equipment he uses is the very same Solo DL Accelerometer that Dave uses......so I'm a bit curious of your claim. Can you please post a link to this information so I can learn more about it.
Thanks.
+777PharmD777 Okay.....show me one source where you obtained this opinion.......CZcams is full of 0-60 runs and never once did I witness what you claim.
I would just like to read/see it, so I can be better educated.
Please post your source.....you must have read this, or watched a video somewhere.
+777PharmD777 , just watched three videos of folks with the same car, run 0 - 60 in 5.9........SOooo
I already told you that my friends Accord runs to 60 in the low 6 sec. range and that's at elevation. Pretty much in line with most magazines claims.
Personally, I own a Honda S2000 and a Toyota 4Runner.....both cars run to 60 mph and the quarter mile as posted by most auto magazines, usually within a few tenths of a second.
So I'm going to research Edmunds however, with my own personal experience and the many CZcams videos available......I'm not making the connection with your claim.
I will say that, you seem to be missing the point that Dave spins his wheels for at least a full second and a half during the runs....
One other thing....what did you mean: "Your time, 7.7 seconds.." ?
I have no clue what you meant by that comment.
+Tony Iacona They use a one foot rollout which takes at least 0.3 seconds off.
Start the 0-60 run in second gear. You'll get much better times. This is per the channel Engineering Explained. He managed a better time than you in the rain by starting in second.
I think for this kind of power going to the front wheels, the automatic is the better option, at least is a 6 speed auto and not a CVT 😂, but I have to say, I have a accord v6 sedan 2015, is weird and cool that when I changed the exhaust of the v6 with the automatic transmission, you can hear the same cool fart sound when you upshift like a DSG transmission of Audi for example and is very cool coming from a Honda with the VTEC sound 😎
Bro you gotta hold the brake down and rev it to 3000 RPMs and floor it after you release the clutch.
I am missing that rally red color from my previous Honda. This V6 Coupe should be rear wheel drive (propulsion).
Isn't this car a competitor to Scions's tC(which has a Camry engine)?
i don't get it, why post the vid if the 0-60 is that bad.
if it kept spinning, why didn't you lower the rev to 2000-3000 rpm?
Worst time than my 2.0L Honda Accord 2002 Euro R with only just 217HP. 😂
Need better driver
its a hard car to launch, but at highway speeds it should be good passing power.
My 2012 crosstour v6 ex-l 4wd does it in 7 sec With no wheel spin. And mine is 4000lbs
Great videos! Can you review a new chevy Colorado please. Thanks
