Hi folks, I am new here but hope to post regularly.

I purchased a 3000 CC Accord V6 (Black) this January and am loving it. My driver sits behind me now as I drive it myself :-)

 

hi how are you?


Just a quick question for you? How many camel power is that accord?

its cows up in the mother land (im indian too lol)

 

ahha I was under the impression that camels are the "work hoarse"

 

What year is your car?

Thanks for the posts.

- The model (as per nomenclature used in India) is V6
- The year of manufacture is 2006 (so it says on the chassis and engine).
- The animal power (take your pick) is 221 @6300 rpm in terms of horses. I am afraid I do not have the conversion factor for camels and cows (add monkeys and elephants and donkeys if you please)
- It has a V6 V-Tec , 4 stroke SOHC , water cooled, PGM-FI Engine.
- It has a 5 speed eledtronic Auto transmission
- Its black with beige leather seats and runs on petrol which is close to 1.2 USD per liter in India !!

It cost approx. USD 44K. They are expensive in India due to the taxation and import duties.

And yes the driver sits at the back because I didnt pay all that money to let him have all the fun

BTW, its the first car I have bought with my own money. Before this I had one car (my first) as a wedding gift and all subsequent cars were company owned. So the pleasure is greater.

 

Did they derate the cars in India? Becuase the V6 cars here are 244hp out of the same 3.0L (2997cc) or is it due to lower octane fuel?

 

hey welcome the the forum. thats big pimpin that you have a honda over there in india. i work at chase bank and we have a call center over there now in manila. i have no idea where that is in relation to you. i got to work on a mercedes benz bus/van that came over from india. i think it used to have a 50 cal on top too. have fun with the car
