Driving home tonight I encountered a kid with a 2008 4 door v6 accord. We were at a stop light and I didnt even look at the driver because I didnt think a race would happen. Honestly I thought it was probably an old guy or something. Well the light turns green and he takes off really fast, I could honestly say that he floored it. So I knew that he would get held up at the next red light because I practically know how all the lights work, since I drive there everynight.
At the second red light Im in the right lane and he's in the left lane so I look over to see whose driving, and if they want to race. Well he doesnt look back and looks staight ahead. I was thinking if I should launch my car or not, I decided not to. The light turns green and he floors it and I go after him but he had a good jump. Mind you there are only a couple of blocks before he hits another red light.
At the third light im in the right lane still and he's in the left lane behind a car. So I figured he's one car behind we wont get to line it up, whatever. The light turns green and I take off normally and I see the jackass swerve onto the opposite side (oncoming traffic) side of the street to pass the car in-front of him, and he flys by me. I knew that there was one last red light that he would get caught at before I had to turn into my block and he was waiting at that light.
At the last light, I knew that I was gonna launch my car. I had 4 blocks from the light to my block where I would have to get into the left lane and make a left. Light turns green, I launch it and at the end of first Im ahead of him.His front was about where my door ends, so I would say about half a car. As I slam it into second he catches up a little, still not infront of me. Then I had to slow down to make the left.
All in all I would say that they are pretty decent. I know V6s really shine for their top-end power, but we didnt get to explore that region.
