Accord Type R VS 172 CUP?

Mawv · Jul 5, 2009

Another one of these "vs" topics. Just out of curiosity, and previously being a Clio 182 owner, from a rolling start in a straight line, will a 172 Cup beat an ATR? This particular cup has been lowered, and has a cat back s/s exhaust, suspected to be cammed but unsure of that. My ATR has been lowered on Eibachs, pirelli p7000 tyres, Black Diamond Grooved Discs and pads all round, K&N Typhoon, with open air feeds in the bumper. The guy, even joked about betting his car as a prize that he would win, hands down.

when i had my cup it saw one off without too much trouble...as always there's so many variables. driver skill etc. familiarity with the car and its limits etc etc.

AndyWilde · Jul 5, 2009

Yes he will beat you

Alan · Jul 5, 2009

Hmmm the Accord will prob give away a little to the cup due to the cup being more agile and having better power to weight.

Inferno · Jul 5, 2009

There's no way he'll beat you 'hands down', I doubt there will be much in it. P7000's won't help your cause though in my opinion. You'd best hope he's running re-moulds!

Well believe it or not, through a "private back road" ive saw of a Focus ST-3, on a "private long stretch of road" ive gave a megane 225, and the new Leon Cupra R a run for there money, was maybe half a car lenght in it either way.

gaz44 · Jul 5, 2009

Not much between them.

Tav · Jul 5, 2009

It's not even a proper Type R, given how close my 182 Cup is to an Integra Type R I think a 172 Cup would horse an Accord.

An ATR does go well, not much in it

Paul_P1 · Jul 5, 2009

Owned both, keep the ATR in VTEC, if on a roll keep it in 1st if you have to. Depends on what speed you go to and start from, over 100 I'd favour the ATR, below that the Cup.

@ 6.7 to 60mph i beg to differ.

Its a Clio, not a hayabusa

rikcup · Jul 5, 2009

Well how does the accord type r compare to the civic type r? I've had a few battles with CTR's and theres nothing in it whatsoever.

*Badger* · Jul 6, 2009

^^^ ATR is a 2.2 VTEC, compared to a 2.0 in the CTR

.Ben. · Jul 6, 2009

^^ Assuming that you're implying that a bigger engine means it's quicker:

CH1 ATR = ~1400kg // 210bhp (JDM has 220bhp)
EP3 CTR = ~1200kg // 200bhp

The Civic would be quicker.

JT182 · Jul 6, 2009

My standard Trophy 'beat' one from a rolling start last summer. Both on the outside lane on a dual carriageway, he was behind me, the car infront of me pulled over to let us past. 3rd gear from 60mph ish, through 4th, and I pulled away considerably. At least 3-4 car lengths from him being about an inch away from my bumper at the start.

Then I let him past when I pulled over, and about a mile further up the road booted it from 2nd gear this time away from a roundabout. Him in front this time, but my Trophy gained on him easily in 2nd and 3rd until I turned off for the motorways! In Bradford it was, just coming back from the Yorkshire Dales.

Not at all, its all about power to weight, where the cup comes into its own

Accord weighs 1306kg's @ 162/bhp ton

Civic has 166bhp/ton

and the Cup 170bhp/ton

To say one would beat the other would purley be down the the driver and not the power of the engine imo

i luv reading these type of threads

Just gives me a rough idea whether to bother or not at the lights

DrR · Jul 6, 2009

How does a cup have 170bhp/ton?

Ex-User (19928) · Jul 6, 2009

^ Didn't even think they produced 170bhp (which is important to remember in threads like this). And they certainly don't weigh less than a tonne.

Ex-User (19928) · Jul 6, 2009

And if you're talking at the wheels which is what counts, a Cup probably has 130whp per tonne or at least around that mark.

Glos182 · Jul 6, 2009

CH1 ATR = ~1400kg // 210bhp (JDM has 220bhp)

whats the ATR at the wheels?

Well on paper they produce 170bhp and weigh 1090kg. You do the math....

Probably around 168bhp/tonne.

Going by your figures it's more like 155 per tonne. Take off 15% (as a guesstimate) and that gives you 132 atw per tonne.

Nobody refers to the ATW power/tonne.

Well it does weigh 1009kg's so its roughly right, working on the premis that it is actually making 172bhp atf

+1

Depends entirely on the driver, pointless discussion tbh.

Mawv · Jul 6, 2009

Thanks for the feedback guys, yes the ATR weights around 1380kg and is approx 209bhp, and revs to around 8000rpm. And it was purely based on a straight line drag race idea. The CTR is 198bhp.

Not pointless if the person who asked the question doesn't know.

Drivers aside, there ain't much of a difference between the cars in a straight line.

TooneySonic · Jul 6, 2009

not alot of difference between standard cars, but if the clio is indeed cammed is should have a slight edge

powershift and you'll have him

Ive owned a 2003 ctr just over a year ago and my mate had a accord type r and there wasnt really anything in it ctr maybe slightly quicker off the line and now i have a 2002 ph2 172 and to be honest 0-100 mph it would be anyones win out of the 3 of them they are that similarly power to weight etc but must add that after a ton my old ctr would hammer my 172,:dapprove: Just being honest lol
