Replying to: malexbu (Mar 21, 2007 4:03 pm) And now, some numbers! These were the closest I could find on a quick search. 1st number is 0-60, 2nd is 1/4 mile time. 2005 Nissan Altima Se-R 6.1/14.8 2004 Honda Accord EX Sedan V-6 5-Speed 7.0/15.5 1998 Toyota Camry LE V-6 (auto) 7.8/15.9 2004 Chevrolet Malibu 7.8/15.9 2001 Honda Accord LX V-6 8.3/16.6 A good 0-60 and 1/4 mile time depends on many factors such as transmission type, tires, type of surface, driver skill, etc. so I take those with a grain of salt. The most accurate numbers come from owners making their own 1/4 mile run. The Pontiac G6 is the twin of the Chevrolet Malibu and here's some actual 1/4 mile numbers posted by the G6Performance members who made them: G6 - 3900 Engine 1 ) 14.679  95.65 - G6GTPV6HO 2 ) 14.900 94.39 - Doctor Kyle 3 ) 14.930 93.57 - ByGeSg6GTP 4 ) 14.993 94.62 - CoupeOfG6 5 ) 15.099 91.88 - Skotbb G6 - 3500 (1st gen) Models 1) 15.951 85.10 - reubenk I tried to find some current numbers on the 3 cars....

Replying to: shadow5599 (Mar 21, 2007 8:43 pm) I was just trying to figure things out. That clears things up.

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 21, 2007 9:39 pm) As far as a possible reason for using old numbers, I think comparisons should take place within the same generation of this class from the respective manufacturer. I believe the present Camry & Accord are into a new generation as compared to the Malibu current generation which is 2004-2007. The 2008 model will bring in the new Malibu generation.

Replying to: shadow5599 (Mar 22, 2007 11:16 am) shadow5599 said...:I dont take any of those numbers as iron clad. How can they be, there's way too many variables even if they say they're all tested the same way. In order for that to be true, it'd have to be the same driver, the same day, same weather, same time of day, same tank of fuel (and level)...etc There are still variables, but the comparison tests are generally more reliable sources to get an idea of at least "relative" performance figures. |

Replying to: shadow5599 (Mar 22, 2007 11:16 am) If your debut time for the Malibu is correct (2004), then the Accord is older than the Malibu, making it more than a fair fight for Chevy. |
