Yep, motorcycles get lots of attention, mostly good too! I assume you are talking about your TSX?

I have the opposite problem, I’m pretty sure my accord would do a faster 1/4 mile than the CBR 250, and top out(governed) at a higher speed than the VFR 400. I did take the accord to a drag strip once, but on the way up there the clutch would act up at full throttle and high rpms, so I didn’t end up running. Instead I drove my dad’s S2000, heatsoaked, 195,000 miles, and two people. Ended up running a 16.(4?). Pretty terrible. My dad managed a 15.3 IIRC with a much more aggressive launch.
I’m guessing the accord would do a 14.3, and the CBR would do a 14.5.
