Anyone other than me put the pedal-to-the-metal and hold it down till the car reaches its top speed? The speedometer has shown 141mph for about a mile and not able to go any faster. I do realize this speed may not be real or accurate but it is what the speedometer showed in my car at the time. Valentine1 is my only choice of radar detection protection. Tried all the others and this is the only 1 that has truly worked wonders for me although it is a bit expensive at $399 found here: http://www.valentine1.com/

Replying to: rkirchoff (Jun 19, 2008 9:01 am) I think there is probably a radar detector forum somewhere. Not sure what this has to do with the 2008 Accord Maintenance and Repair forum. I blanked out the details because frankly, all I'd be reproducing a spam-type advertisement. As far as the other goes, I know Car and Driver tested the 4-cylinder Accord (2007 model) to run 130mph, and it is supposedly limited to that. Where do you take your Accord to the track? |

And in that regard, for the sake of conversation, I had my 2004 S2000 up to 152 once - right at redline. Scary. But you are right - none of this has anything to do with repair and maintenance.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 19, 2008 10:26 am) Car and Driver confirms it in their test results as well. So we have a 20+ gallon fuel tank and a car that goes 141 despite being electronically limited to 130? Seems to have an exceptional car there. |

Replying to: bug4 (Jun 19, 2008 12:23 pm)  No need to apologize. Just was curious because I had had some throttle response issues with my V6 as well. Hmmmm....I wouldn't know what to say - on old carbureted cars you had an accelerator pump in the carb which, if faulty, would cause the lag you experienced. Since the new car is drive by wire throttle it would appear you have a problem with that component. Good luck getting that fixed ASAP - that could be dangerous, as you already found out. Stay safe!
