^ Go watch his vid from 0-60. He accomplishes that feat in 6 seconds flat. Thus, YOU fail. no hard feelings mate
I have a 4cyl manual.
My 60ft run is about 7 seconds according to my vid.
ALso, the stock V6 is supposed to run 15.8 in the 1/4 according to some magazines.
However, many ov the V6's I've seen ran in the low 16's
With my Intake and exhaust I ran a 16.0
Now that I've added a header, I probably could be in the high 15's, but I haven't been back to the track since.
When I say the V6 isn't fast, I was comparing it to a lightly (very lightly) modified I4 manual.
Of course from a launch the V6 is no slouch. But from a roll I've expected more.
THe problem is that it's stuck wit ha 4 speed automatic tranny that MANY people has had problems with

The 6th gen tranny problem doesn't seem to have any correlation to how the car is driven. Honda just messed up. They released a car with a tranny that fails by design.

True
Because that same tranny was used in the Acura TL, and Honda Odyssey with the same problem
one of the "D" lights will start flashing, then the tranny starts slipping.

On mine, it started having problems, but didn't start flashing the D light until it went into limp home mode. It went from good to dead in a week.

Mine died at 90k, it seems to have a range from about 75-125k, but also, it seems that it could basically fall apart at any time.
