If it's an early '90's Honda Accord it weighed about 2800 - 3000 pounds from the factory, maybe 2600 pounds, stripped, has a 2.2 four-cylinder engine and was rated @ 140 HP (max) new so 175 might be an honest HP number - with some mods.

According to our MW Analyzer, with 175 HP and at, say, 2600 pounds the Honda might see a low-to-mid 14-second et.

Not bad.

Just for laughs, if the Honda really did weigh 2100 pounds (not likely) he could run a 13.3 @ 102 mph. Ohhhh.
