This coupe came with 17 - inch wheels (that varied between the 03 - 05 and 06 - 07 models), strut tower bar, perforated leather seating, carbon fiber dash pieces, and an upgraded 180 watt stereo system . Because of the ability to maintain activation of the VTEC system all the way through hard acceleration, the Accord EX V6 6 - speed ran from 0--60 MPH in just 5.9 seconds according to Car and Driver, more than a second faster than the automatic version .
