I love how he blamed the Accord for shifting itself but you can clearly hear him clicking the shifts himself

The fusion has always been a rocket with any of the v6 options; it's underrated, in my opinion.

Imagine how fast Fusion could be if it had a 10-speed transmission

Couldn’t believe the specs when that fusion first came out .. definitely something you wouldn’t expect from a fusion .. hate that they discontinued it . Run it against a Taurus SHO

He messed up on the shifting on the second race 😂

The eco boost in that car is a sleeper. Good race because the Accord 2.0 is no slouch.

Let’s get this straight. Almost 100hp ahead, bigger engine by .7L, AWD system. What chance did the Accord stand in this race?

Capable of 4.99 sec 0-60, the Fusion sport will always be the quickest accelerating midsized sedan. I've been waiting for this...

DAMN !! as a honda guy... this ford is pretty quick seriously goshh

Oh man, the normally quick Accord 2.0 got destroyed by this. The Fusion just disappears. What a hot rod sleeper sedan that Fusion is.

The Accord 2.0T does pretty well; could probably be a hair faster as a 2.0T Sport which is a bit lighter than the Touring version. That said, you should try to sync up this same Fusion and the TLX Type S.

Ford Fusion always seemed to be a great value. For many years the Accord and the Fusion were the only two sedans I would consider.

You said the ford was rwd at the beginning but then you said awd helps when he was pulling away lol

Awd 325 hp vs fwd 252 hp. No surprises here

I'd love to see a Sonata 2.5T or a Kia K5 GT against this Ford Fusion or even a GLI DSG would be a very interesting race.the accord did fairly well against the bigger V6 Turbo powered Fusion

When a sleeper accord gets destroyed by an even more sleeper grandma grocery getter

I loved my 2018 Fusion Sport! Definitely a sleeper car. Recently traded it in for a 2022 Kia Stinger GT2

Love the Ford Fusion sport content 👏

Would love to see a Ford Fusion Sport vs Kia K5 GT.

2011 Fusion sport with 187k mile still going strong. Ford should bring back fusion and focus. Great video 👍✌️

K-5 GT versus the fusion that would be a good race

The accord is a fast car.. against a Camry 😅😢😂

Why not put the V6 Fusion against the V6 Accord?

The crickets are back at the finish! Sam these summer videos are great for these cold winter days!

No offense As soon as I saw him in accord , I knew the results 😂

1:40. So now the fusion is a RWD? 🧐

Sam, another interesting race. When I saw the weight to power ratio, I could have guessed at the outcome of the race. Honda really needs to up the horsepower of the Accord before including AWD in the Accord.

Great runs, but again the weight of the FS is more like 4000 lbs or so instead of 3700 lbs. Which of course makes it even more impressive

Should of ran the 2.0 Fusion ecoboost. Would of been a fair fight. The Fusion sport is a beast.

Infinity q50 with 3.0t engine will be greater competitor to fusion sport. Both are v6 turbocharged and awd.

Stinger GT 3.3 VS Fusion Sport

I'd like to see the Fusion Sport against the Q50S 3.7 or 3.0t if that's not available.

I wanna see a 5.0 vs the ford fusion awd off the dig

Lol there’s no way a stock accord would ever stand a chance against the 2.7 v6 in the fusion. I love my accord but 2 more cylinders, more displacement and one more turbo does wonders in the top end. The 2.7 F150s run 13s and 5 second 0-60s with just a flash tune.

Awesome content Sam!! From a dig that was expected most impressive I think is the Accord 2.0T on a roll 🔥🔥

Accord weighs 3,428 if it's the touring model. Good runs tho. The Accord has about 4-500lbs advantage but not enough to make up for the 💯+ ft lbs of torque & 75 hp more in the Ford's V6 & AWD vs Accord's 4 banger 2.0t & FWD... 🤷🏻

We need a 2019 Audi A4 vs 2019 Accord 2.0t.

Where is the tuned Sport?! I hope you guys had some Hemis to run with the tuned Fusion. Word on the street is that you guys put it up against a V6 Charger, which I find hilarious.

Would love to see the Accord with k-tuner to make it closer matched

This would have been better with the tlx type s, the major factor was the awd, if they were both 2wd it would have been a better race. still great to see even though the accord lost lol keep up the great work Sam!

I drive a 15 fusion ecoboost and love it! I wish I would have gotten the Sport! Would be so cool if Ford brought back the fusion sport with like 380hp and 400TQ.

I’ve always like the Fusion and I think the Fusion sport was a good value when it was available, great car.

Waiting for the 1.5T vs 1.6T sonata Sam ( very good video again thank you 🙏 🤩🤩)

You had the Accords specs wrong, that Type R badge gives it at least 80 extra HPs

Hello brother, great video. Keep them coming. I really want to see you compare the V6 Mustang to the competition. Hardly anyone compares that car, so I would love to see how it performs and thank you.

Fusion Sport is AWD, FWD chassis. Not RWD :)

They're both fantastic cars, you get the accord for better efficiency, and the fusion for the awd and power.

Loving this. Let’s see that tuned fusion vs stock coyote.

To be fair, even though this Accord would smoke a Camry, Honda never intended for the Accord 2.0 to be winning all races. Otherwise, this car would've been called the Accord SI or Accord Type R. Similar to how a Camry XSE is not called the "Camry TRD line", the Accord Sport is not even called "SI line" or "Type R line". You're comparing something never meant to be performance against something that is meant to be performance. Meanwhile, Fusion Sport was meant to be performance because this was during a time when Ford had a different leadership than Ford today. Back then, they intended Sport to be the performance because the previous management, unlike today's Ford management, thought that calling it "ST" would be out of place. The reason why today, Fords that would've been called Sport are now called ST and they now use "Sport" for either a looks package or a smaller version of a car is because Ford has new management. For example, the Edge ST that came out in 2019 was just a rebranding of the Edge Sport because the 2019 Edge ST is mechanically the same as the 2018 Edge Sport. The Accord is great for what Honda intended, and the Fusion was great for what Ford's previous management intended.

Makes sense when the discontinued Fusion Sport 2.7T makes 325HP

Love my accord !!! You have to admit the 2.0t stock is an amazing engine! But good run with the fusion as well!! ✌️

Fusion sport vs sonata n line/K5 GT would be VERY interesting. I consider the n line sonata/ K5 GT the spiritual successor to the Ford Fusion sport

It's 2.0t vs 2.7 v6 twin turbo not a fair comparison accord still a beast for a 4cyl sedan.

I have a 19 sport and These SS Camaros, 5.0 Mustangs, And scats always are like damn what you got in there!!!!! I get em all at the start but man a 60 roll they got me all day long! But love my fusion! I wanna tune it and add a new inner cooler and Air intake.

Can you do a Ford Fusion Sport vs Kia Stinger GT video?

Lmao 😂😂😂 reminds me of yesterday. Someone in a civic tried to race my mkz 3.0 awd andi barely gassed it. And he had it barried. He was trying so hard and i wasnt even giving a shit. And then he tried to floor again when i let off as if he was going to beat me. Lol. Dude doesnt even realize i dont even have it sport mode 😂😂😂😂.

@samcarlegion bro you have to fix the stats… base 4 cyl fwd non turbo fusion weighs 3600lbs. The sport in the video is 401a fully loaded v6tt sunroof and awd is 4100lbs

I feel like this channel hates Honda Accord or the driver can't drive because if u watch other channels, the Accord is one of the best fastest sedan compare to others 🤨🤨🤨

Proud 2 own Fusion! Polymerization 😎

Sam on the accord traction control needs to be disabled fully. Because at @2:46 u can hear it turn back on. On Dan Villa KZfaq page he has a video on how to disable it completely

The ford fusion sport is fwd based not rwd based. The awd system will send power to the rear wheels only when slip is detected.

Keep the accord videos coming!

Sam I recommend you put the 2021 Mazda3 Sedan turbo against both of those cars including the 2021 Subaru WRX. That would give them a good run for the money.

Hey Sam! We are waiting for that civic race. Long time no videos

I always doubted the numbers on the Accord and Fusion. On paper the Accord has been said to be the same speed and sometimes faster. I drive a Fusion SE model and I overtake people with a tiny engine. Ain't no way the Accord sport can even touch a Fusion Sport. Man I wish ford bring this car back.

Not again Sam! You are gonna get all the Honda army on your back😂

Definitely would have a chance from a roll at least if it was the sport model instead of the touring and the driver knew how to launch and shift correctly. With stock parts and a tune it would be a completely different race

how is this even fair it has a bigger engine and more hp and torque . do some realistic races next time

Actually closer than I thought! That Accord is quick, But I knew the fusion sport was gonna take it.

What would be interesting is this Fusion vs Type S!

Fusions are so underrated

The fusion is so much faster, also gets incredibly bad gas mileage lol

They discontinued this because all the law enforcement have them lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sam i love your Channel and the videos and i mean this in the nicest way possible but damm how are you so bad at manual shifting 😂 it’s a common theme hahaha much respect tho dawg

I’ve never seen this guy win a race

Imagine getting a new Honda Accord in the first thing that hits your brain is like man.... it would be almost perfect but that gas door needs to look like it was involved in the accident first. Sweet! unpainted gas door at last! Now all the car guys will know my car is custom. And in case it didn't it's got the type R badge because we all know Honda made type-r Accords. Soccer moms at intersections across Suburbia will be foiled for sure

Still waiting for the Kia Stinger GT vs Ford Fusion sport video. Much closer on the specs.

Ford had built a really really balanced car with the Fusion SPORT. The problem was all the other Fusion's which made up the majority of the fusion sales were garbage, and most people thought the fusion was just that. Ford should have only EVER offered the Fusion in the sport model. Also these Fusion sports were really expensive like $55,000, at that point its hard not to start looking at BMW etc.... If Ford would have only sold the Fusion sport model not the other models and at a slightly cheaper sticker price, you'd have a whole bunch of moded Fusion Sports embarrasing a lot of way more expensive cars out on the streets today. However mayby its a good thing, because there are not many of these sleeper Fusion Sports on the road which sorta adds a cool factor I guess.

I would like to see this race again in 20 years. Accord: where's the fusion? Fusion: junkyard

“That’s a rea(r)wdrive” - No, it’s not. “That Ford! AWD helps!” - No, it doesn’t… neither of those cars spun the tires.

Dude stop with your love of the accord you got walked literally bus lengths smh 🤦‍♂️

Unreal how the accord hung in there with excessively more powerful car

Already knew this outcome

...V6 turbo 325hp against 2.0t 252hp, not sure why people so surprised?

As a bonus, Ford left a lot on the table for tuning that 2.7 Ecoboost.

I've owned these two cars fusion, than accord 2.0, tuned them both. AWD is a huge advantage for the fusion for dig races. They are surprisingly close in acceleration.

How do a RWD became AWD in one take?

Hi Sam, PLZ 🙏 Elantra N vs Civic Type R ♥️💚💚💚♥️

Love me fs puts down over 400 to wheels with a tune and bolt ons

I didn’t even know that this Fusion was ever made. I think it’s cool, but I’ve never read an article about it, seen a commercial about one, or noticed one on the roads. Feels like Ford could have marketed it better.

I love how he blames the car for his shifts.

WELL !! it is an small v6 so yeah it does rev very fast... plus the turbo on top... nice

All the excitement of racing a 86 Chryco Le Baron GTS 5sp 2.2L vs a Ford Taurus 5sp 2.5L: Two family sedans offering a combination of the last vestiges of youthful, carefree driving, while slowly succumbing to the raveges of middle age, like having the Tom Petty channel on XM, 24-7, checking what's left of your hairline in the visor mirror, undoing your belt after you sit and fasten your safety belt, lettng that bulging gut stretch... 😩

When you want to use the paddle shifters in Sport mode you have to put it into that mode before you even leave the line.

Call me crazy but I would like to see the Honda Accord 2.0 vs a 2018 Buick Lacrosse v6

you can very easily get 400 BHP out of the sports with not much more then a tune. Impressive cars, Iv'e beaten a couple stick shift Mustang Gt's with my 2017 Sport

This is largely about how much faster the Fusion is than the Accord. went as expected im sure the results would be the same vs the Kia K5 GT

That 6 speed transmission in the fusion is definitely a weak link. A tune truly helps with the shift points with that car.

Dodge charger rt vs fusion 🤔

You meant awd that first time lol
