Vs ~2003 V6 Accord. Yeah, I was shocked too.

I have an 03 V6 coupe with the slush box automatic. Can confirm its peppy for what it is, but definitely not fast.

Just looked up trap speed for the accord and it's 96mph.

According to torque, I was at 103mph at stage 1. 240hp crank according to APR.
A gti is 100 and at stage 1, I could beat a gti, which kind of corroborates the trap speed.

now at Is38 and 350hp crank (per APR), torque says trap is 110mph. I figure this number is pretty accurate just based on stage 1 trap and experience against other known entities.

so that accord was at least 320hp I would think and probably around 107 trap.

I was going to say that 100 seems optimistic for a stock GTI, but looks pretty close to right for a DSG, I'd guess a manual is in the 95-96 range.

When I first got my GTI and had stage 1 tune I got smoked by a Pontiac Fiero. All I know about it was that I could smell ethanol in his exhaust.

Regals, Bonneville SSE’s, and Grand Prixs came with turbo or supercharged engines, I think 3.1 liter, possibly 3.8liter, that will easily drop into a 2.8 liter Fiero engine bay. To be honest I would rock an 89 Fiero GT manual with a swap putting out a conservative 300 at the wheels.
