I take it by your screen name you have an L98. What 4 mods do you have. 4 mods can be way much more than "some mods." IF both cars are stock you will murder each.

IF its a new 6spd Accord you may find yourself in for more of a race then you thought. Car and Driver, Motor Trend, and Road & Track tested the 03 6spd Accords to mid 14's @ 98mph or so. Too damn quick for me.
New Eclipses are slower I think, so you should still do alright against them.

Yeah, sad but true, those new accords are actually quick, the new V6 eclipses are pretty quick, but if you have the L98, then I wouldn't worry about it, unless it is modded, but you might have to worry about the accord. It has a 3.0L V6, 24 valve, with 240 hp @6250rpm. Not sure on the torque, though, it's probably not much, I can almost guarantee that. Keep us updated!! Good luck!!
