i'm looking at various cars and i see the horsepower but i am wondering which is the fastest, accelaration wise. Between a mazda 3 s, honda civic coupe, scion tc and a nissan sentra and nissan sentra se-r spec v. Thanks.

The Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V offers the fastest acceleration.
Although there is the Mazdaspeed3 (5-door hatchback) that will
out accelerate even the Spec-V. Another couple of vehicles that
will accelerate quite quickly are the 2007 VW Jetta or the VW GTI
with the 2.0L turbo engine (premium fuel recommended but not
necessary).
If you balance the power-to-weight ratio, and take into consideration
how many gears (i.e. with a manual transmission), you will usually
find the car with the fastest acceleration.

Most car manufacturers are all hyped up on horsepower, which means almost nothing in term of performance.
For example, Honda produces some of the highest horsepower figures out of small engines, but only at high RPMs and at the expense of low-end torque. My '95 VW Golf GTI 2.0 could beat a 2000 Civic SiR 1.6 off the line with only 105HP compared to 160HP. But if the race continued for more that a block I got whooped.
It also depends on what kind of acceleration you are talking about: 0-60? 30-60? 1/4 mile?

I Belive that the Nissan sentra se-r spec v is a faster car because it has a more powerful engin (if you get the V8)

Civics are only fast after a lot of $$$. The se-r or the scion will be your best bet of those for power/acceleration. I would also look at the vr6 vw's.

nicely.... many confer with motorbikes (motorcycles) as Iron horses. i could have a demanding time choosing between a quickly motorcycle and a stay, quickly horse. automobiles are too confining.

the best way is look at how much miles does the car say if it is 180 miles or 200 miles
