Honda Pilot...??
I was on my way home from doing some errands this morning in the V6, there was this new Honda Pilot behind me at a red light. The light turns green and I just casually go about my business with the rest of traffic, then all the sudden the Pilot slams the gas, runs right up to my a$$ and jerks the wheel to change lanes and flies past me and almost cuts me off merging back. I seriously thought he was going to flip with the way he changed lanes. Next red light, he just floors it off the line and does the same thing to the next car he gets behind. This guy obviously wasn't in any kind of hurry or he wouldnt bother messing with other cars.
Eventually he lines up with me at a red light, looks over at me and does some stupid little dace while revving his puny engine. I was almost home and there was no traffic ahead so I went with it. No challenge, had him down to 2.5 cars by 3rd and 3.5 by 80mph. Ever since that, he drove normally. This guy confused the hell out of me. I actually felt it was a stupid and worthless risk until I noticed he stopped being a jerk on the road. For once, racing was a benefit to society

not bad losing to a mustang in the family hauler by only 3ish cars to 80. I give the Pilot (not the driver) props!

Yea it did better than I thought. Off the line the Pilot was horrible, but later on is when its sweet spot kicks in I guess. I was shifting at 5K, never really raced the V6 before. 5K is where I shift the 5.0 so I just did it by habbit.

The V6 pulls ok up top, my friend has one that is cammed and they claim it NEVER falls off (well, up to 6500+ or however fast they spun the thing on the dyno).
