    Less Honda and more market perception of quality.

    Note I say perception... around ~2000 Accords had bad trannies. I hear trannies aren't cheap either as I'm sure a few of the guys around here know.

    Given Ive had 3 grandprixs and with GMs past build quality, killing the pontiac nameplate, I think the Accord is pretty comparable to the GP and the V6 version is like 260 hp N/A the interiors look great on them too. Next car I buy will be Ford, Honda, or Subie Legacy. Even thinking of a 4 door civic sedan build with a K20. 4 door with a 300hp NA engine that revs 7500 8k easily sounds like fun.

Dont trust stock rods when they say they can handle 350 horse, BS!! anyway, i stick to the motto, had one never did again, huge PITA if something does go wrong, then everything else goes wrong!

    Thats one thing people don't really understand, running a car that fast will increase wear.

    no, metal fatigue that my machinest missed in the #1 connecting rod increased wear, through both sides of the cylinder wall. It was built for the power, trust me, my bank account proved that, just should have spent the extra 350 for h beams and it would've been fine. Lesson learned, first and last ricer. Costs more to get less but hey, its fun to blow the doors off all the stickered, winged, and fart canned ricers.
