That fact that the 2.0 is able to keep up with the sti in normal and Manu mode is insane. I thought like, it's a subaru so it has no chance but damn. Made my day lol

You’ve found the odd combinations that remind me the mid-80’s street scene. You could never predict what you’d wind up running against and anything was fair game. Want a weird suggestion? Ford Flex V6 Ecoboost with and/or without a tune.
That EcoBoost Flex should be called Boooooooooo-st. Those things are crazy fast for what they are. | Ford is quite sneaky, when it comes to throwing random completely unsuspecting monster sleepers. I've witnessed a Ford Flex run a Solid 750awhp with just some bolt-ons some new turbos a lil 🌽 in the tank. Super Sneaky..... And Scary Fast....
Wow that was insane. On manual mode the Accord was RIGHT THERE with the mighty WRX STI!!! That 2.0 is a gem. I think the owner of the subie’s feelings were slightly hurt lol
@@Lorde360 so its your car? I am for sure at the TRACK, story would be a lot different. on twisty road the true abilities come out, especially for a rally king like the STI and I am sure it will dust the accord. For a day to day car, accord is just IT though.
The accords are actually very impressive I’m sad to see the news then accord ditch the 2.0t but the sti is a dedicated sports car no one buys sti for their 1/4 mile times acceleration and handling is the main focus of them taking a turn at 120 when’re the accord even if it had active suspension would be at 80
The thing with the sti thought is that it’s not the fastest in a straight line but you can throw it into the corners and it just sticks, it gives you so much confidence in the corners
In the roll race from 45kph in manual mode, it looked like the STI was SLIGHTLY ahead at the beginning, & that might have made all the difference...Loved the vid as always!!! They should call it the Accord with the SLEEPER package, ha.
I would have thought that with roughly 50 more hp and awd that the Sti would jump ahead off the line and then pull away . That Accord has some strong ponies .
I own both cars. 19 STI Stage 2 and 19 Accord 2.OT 10 speed auto... Stock to stock on a dig STI will take it , but on the roll,if you catch accord on right gear it will walk STI on top speed .... On roll accord is faster... Both are great cars ,made for different driving experience.... The STI is a superior car for all road conditions!!!!
Yeah. Sport Sharp Mode and for drag racing you should shift the DCCD to 35/65 front to rear. Everybody thinks an STi is easy to drive, but it takes a little bit of a learning curve to unleash it's full potential. Also, the fact that you can rev higher at launch, and optimize shifting to get your car through the dreaded 2nd to 3rd gear slump.
@@domwesbentick2960 I agree it’s not as easy as the 2 evos I had an 03 evo 8 and 14 evo x now with the 17 limited sti I own it’s very different than shifting them I usually drive in i mode for normal driving cause it’s so different in how it shifts in sport sharp seems like it just wants to go all out in high rpms in i mode seems to want to drive tamer
Down shifting 2 gears from the sport mode pre set gear to start a pull at 5000 rpm can make a huge difference in the accord! That’s the way it’s meant to pull wide open 👌🏻
I like using the paddle shifters from time to time...but if I need power like getting on the beltway...I just hit sport mode and that sucker flies...lol.
@@layne4376 The Subaru is too stiff for a daily driver. You need to drive a accord to see what I mean. The accord kept up with the STI. imagine will it do to the WRX 😂 The accord is a family sedan.
@@layne4376 Type R beats the STi in the corners while being wrong wheel drive, your point? Fact is for a daily the Accord is extremely impressive, on the interstate it will roll really good when it comes to overtaking traffic
I love my 2021 2.0 Accord i got the last one in my city in glossy white and this thing is a phenomenal performer and has grand technological futures for a sedan, definitely a extraordinary car and suggestive pick for anybody’s first car like me.
Now I understand why Honda didn’t put the same 306hp and 295tq of the Type R, if the accord is already this fast with the 10 speed, imagine what it can do with that additional power, it can easily beat the STI and even the type R and I think that’s what Honda didn’t want, the accord to be faster than the type R 🤷🏻♂️😆
The 2.0T in the Accord Sport is an insanely good engine but it is also paired well with that transmission. If they were to put that in the new 11th gen Civic, it would be the best thing ever.
Neither of these cars are preferred by me but if I had to the Accord 2.0t would be the one I would purchase. The Subarus WRX STi just doesn't have the same "street Cred" as it did years ago whatever that means and the styling and sound of the boxer is more subdued even with with aftermarket exhaust.

@@copperkeyracing6167 yeah they make great power. I was more surprised on how it put the power down with an open diff. pretty impressive stock. i've been in an e85 accord and it slips all the way to 4th.
@@copperkeyracing6167 That makes sense. I probably shouldve asked the guy what tires he was running. I'm even more impressed with the accord's diff then haha.
Good race and comparison of both cars. My personal opinion is that it is a bit hard to compare an automatic against a manual even though there is a "manual" mode (paddle shifters) in the Honda. Good video though.
I said the same bro lol can’t beat a computer when it comes to shifting and the paddle shifters are still backed by a computer for people who are learning still
Was the STI ever put into Sport# you guys didn’t say. Intelligent mode turns off the turbo. Sport mode would give it about 250hp to be equal to the accord but sport# (sport sharp) would have gave the sti the full 305hp. Would have been nice to see the comparison.
@@SK718NYC Look ,you are probably a Honda fanboy ok,,I dont have time to argue,you must be blind not to see that the STI had like 3 cars ahead from the jump lol . The STI is the more powerful of the 2,,Look at the race again lol. I also said the accord did good,,but it lost to the more powerful car 😎
@@pedrorivera2308 I actually worked at a Subaru dealer. Nothing but blown head gasket, broken rods and excessive oil consumption. STI are built like trash. pS I don't drive a Honda 😂
It’s not surprising they are similar in weight and whp the handling is where they will definitely differ. oh an STI is a family sedan for me I have two car seats in my back seat.
I didnt think the 2.0 would come close to the sti. But that manual mode wow made the difference. On a price perspective ur better off buying the accord and just getting ktuner.
I'm really impressed with that Accord same weigh less horsepower and no all-wheel drive. I Can Only Imagine if the engines was the same horsepower the STI would have got destroyed.
In an engineering standpoint, a car with AWD loses a lot of hp by powering all four wheels especially if you have a heavy driveshaft and non oem tires and wheels. The only advantage AWD has over FWD is grip on a dig. Once they get moving, the advantage swings back to the FWD car because it only needs to power 2 wheels instead of 4.
Nice race video bro. You should race a bmw 328i or 330i in a video one time if possible. I see them on the road all the time. I would like to see how they would do in a drag race against other cars.
accord is impressive! i'm currently looking at an wrx and i just came up with the idea of an accord. i youtube this and find the exact video that i need
At the end of the day I’m not driving a Honda Accord with a little special motor and it’s turbo while red line racing down the freeway to top out some other man in his vehicle
I have a buddy with a 2.0t accord just like this one in the video, he is running a few bolt on’s with a e85 blend and is over 400whp. The 10 speed auto is insane, the car ran a 12.09 on a quarter mile. With better tires to launch I believe he would be in the 11s.
Another proud owner here of a 2021 Accord Touring 2.0t - 10at... Minus the lack of LSD and it being FWD, this power train is fantastic compared to all these other +300hp competitors. Is there any other car that utilizes 250hp so well?
The accord is insane as you say ..but it still lost most if not all races and thats just in a straight line Z=Zero car driving experience necessary the STI is just a beast ( Cobb performance not included ) on so many levels .. but great video as always and entertaining .
Love this channel… however I do feel like you could get a better feel for the cars that u drive. Some races it doesn’t seem like u have the car in its best power band when shifting. Keep the videos coming!

I said the same bro lol can’t beat a computer when it comes to shifting and the paddle shifters are still backed by a computer for people who are learning still
I just traded in my ‘21 STi for the 2.0 Accord, don’t even miss the Subie lol
You traded in cause you're dumb lol.
That AWD Helped him soo much
Was the STI ever put into Sport# you guys didn’t say. Intelligent mode turns off the turbo. Sport mode would give it about 250hp to be equal to the accord but sport# (sport sharp) would have gave the sti the full 305hp. Would have been nice to see the comparison.
I was expecting a really bad gap... damn. ... what's in that accord bro.
detuned Type R engine
I was expecting the accord 10 speed to gap a 12 year old platform that’s manual. Wait for the new 400hp STI
@@HarryTwatter Or just when Honda decides to finally put a turbo from factory on the k series engine.
Great engineering. Look at the hp and torque between the two. There is a good amount of difference. Type r and the sti would be interesting
@@sharktin240 305 vs 250
Great comparison, thank you for brining us this.
That STI awd is really good. Still the accord did very good 👍
The STi is garbage.
@@SK718NYC Ok i got ya !!! But it destroyed the accord 😎
@@pedrorivera2308where is the destroying?
@@SK718NYC Look ,you are probably a Honda fanboy ok,,I dont have time to argue,you must be blind not to see that the STI had like 3 cars ahead from the jump lol . The STI is the more powerful of the 2,,Look at the race again lol. I also said the accord did good,,but it lost to the more powerful car 😎
@@pedrorivera2308 I actually worked at a Subaru dealer. Nothing but blown head gasket, broken rods and excessive oil consumption. STI are built like trash. pS I don't drive a Honda 😂
The STI is meant for real racing not a straight line.
I like these drag races because it shows how conventional every day cars perform really. Unexpected performance
this channel needs to blow up, such good content every time
I never hear this talked about, the drivers' weight. What about if one driver is 300lbs and other 150. Would the 150 lbs difference give an advantage?
We are within the limits.
@@SamCarLegion thanks! And i’m not insinuating that one of you guys is 300lbs. LOL
I love this channel!
Thank you!
Just watching him drive with his expressions from 5:50-6:10 is hilarious 😂
Just look how intense he was to normal state lol loved it!!!🤣
Very fascinating. Keep it up.
I’m surprised how the Accord can run! A family sedan, 2.0T against the powerful AWD 2.5T Subaru STi! 👏👏
It’s not surprising they are similar in weight and whp the handling is where they will definitely differ. oh an STI is a family sedan for me I have two car seats in my back seat.
My wife has a 2016 accord v6 touring, 280hp and it's quick. Would love to see that car race another on your channel.
I didnt think the 2.0 would come close to the sti. But that manual mode wow made the difference. On a price perspective ur better off buying the accord and just getting ktuner.
Honda really had something with the 2.0T and they just threw it away.
They have not been making the brightest decisions lately
I'm really impressed with that Accord same weigh less horsepower and no all-wheel drive. I Can Only Imagine if the engines was the same horsepower the STI would have got destroyed.
In an engineering standpoint, a car with AWD loses a lot of hp by powering all four wheels especially if you have a heavy driveshaft and non oem tires and wheels. The only advantage AWD has over FWD is grip on a dig. Once they get moving, the advantage swings back to the FWD car because it only needs to power 2 wheels instead of 4.
@Justin S. and if the STI got a simple tune we would be back to square one
One suggestion to even make your videos interesting to put camera in the other car and show bits of that car specially with standard cars
Sam’s expression got so serious until the end LMFAO. Good content
Nice race video bro. You should race a bmw 328i or 330i in a video one time if possible. I see them on the road all the time. I would like to see how they would do in a drag race against other cars.
Surw
Would love to see the is350 vs sti and accord 2.0 please!!!
I got crushed in my 2.0 auto by a 08 IS350. They launch hard.
@@MistaRoyanT the is350s are very underrated cars. My brother has an 08 and won a lot of races. He said it had to do with the gearing of the car
@@jortigoza47 wait till big brother isf pull up 🤣🤣 Japanese powaaaaaa
I agree, I love this channel, straight to it
Wish he brought back the 10 sp with the Stage 2 Tune that he did vs the Type R.
accord is impressive! i'm currently looking at an wrx and i just came up with the idea of an accord. i youtube this and find the exact video that i need
Please can u do ford fusion 2.0 ecoboost vs honda accord 2.0t Please this my request love u from Brampton
The 2.0 Fusion would get demolished by the accord, but maybe the 2.7 ecoboost fusion could take it though
@@edwindiaz7034 💯 percent agree 👍
At the end of the day I’m not driving a Honda Accord with a little special motor and it’s turbo while red line racing down the freeway to top out some other man in his vehicle
The Accord was a slow family car and now it's neck to neck with STI lol 😆. Amazing what a 🐌 can do.
Turbo broc
I have an 18 year old factory 240 horse j30 accord
Accord was never that slow in the past the older V6s with 6 speed manuals could keep up easily
I have a buddy with a 2.0t accord just like this one in the video, he is running a few bolt on’s with a e85 blend and is over 400whp. The 10 speed auto is insane, the car ran a 12.09 on a quarter mile. With better tires to launch I believe he would be in the 11s.
Sam. Thank you for what you're doing! So interesting!
Thank you
Another proud owner here of a 2021 Accord Touring 2.0t - 10at... Minus the lack of LSD and it being FWD, this power train is fantastic compared to all these other +300hp competitors. Is there any other car that utilizes 250hp so well?
I would love to see the Kia K5 GT against the STI
I’d like to see a dude that knows how to shift.
The accord is insane as you say ..but it still lost most if not all races and thats just in a straight line Z=Zero car driving experience necessary the STI is just a beast ( Cobb performance not included ) on so many levels .. but great video as always and entertaining .
I wanna see that STI vs the K5 GT. It should be interesting...
K5 by murder. The k5 was hanging with muscle cars a few days ago
K5 GT with Michelin Summer Tires will definitely beat STI for sure. Lmao @ STI getting beat-up by Family Commuter cars
This may be off the topic but what percent tints does the accord got ? 😂
20% all round 😉
Dude that’s awesome!!! Honda has stepped up their game. Accord did good against the STI!
Love this channel… however I do feel like you could get a better feel for the cars that u drive. Some races it doesn’t seem like u have the car in its best power band when shifting. Keep the videos coming!
