ACCORD OF THE YEAR Voting - 2007

[87accordlxi]

Here are our AOY nominees from the past year. There are a number of pictures in this thread, and they may take some time to load, even on fast connections. The winner of this poll will be our Accord of the Year, so PLEASE take your time and vote for the vehicle that you truly feel deserves to win.

Just as in the AOM voting threads, THERE IS NO POSTING ALLOWED IN HERE. JUST VOTE.

This poll closes on December 31st.

I'd also like to take a moment to honor our previous AOY winner, guaynabo89 (2006): https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57347

A fantastic 409whp at a mere 12psi, at 17psi, it made giant mid range power. Top end dropped off because the injector size are too small. We should have gotten 750cc injectors, but no one expected this amount of power at just 12psi. 486whp could have easily been achieved with 750cc injectors. Possibly just a little over 500whp. Another problem was due to clutch slippage. Again, no one expected these numbers. So a stage3 exedy clutch was opted for. Now we have to get an exedy twin plate with flywheel.
