hhr(henry) vs honda pilot

Coming home from work a honda pilot was playing cat and mouse with me so i let the hhr eat. I swear to everyone i was pulling him till the freaking ecm shut me down a 110 or so. Looking a some stats on a pilot it should have smoked me but the pilot's pilot couldnt drive or maybe his weight had some to do with it. Oh well, I needed to back out anyway, I done crashed once. Wheres my gxp engine when i need it?

These little HHR power plants do quite nicely and the driver ability/guts level does play a big part in the equation. I have put the smack down on a couple of PT's and a Neon...(Keep the whoppin' in the family...hahaha) I also took Deerman up to the "century" mark on our way to the World of Wheels...

Next time you can shift down to "I" gear and the limiter goes away. I've had "Bob" over 115 several time. Most I've chanced though was 120 on the way to Bristol and that was before the intake and tune.

After the tune, at 115 I was only at 5300 rpms so I could have gone some still!

I've got a five speed and tried to run it in fourth once, just made the shift light come on. And it never comes on. So if I can't beat them till 110ish, I say the hell with it. I would think with all the plastic looking piece on the pilot it would be lighter. 4431 pounds and a v6 with 255hp at 5400. What a pig, and ugly too. I wish someone could have seen the whole ordeal. Flawless power shifting.

Admitting online that you are driving at 100 mph plus on public roads is just stupid and dangerous.

Now, Now, Solman98, You know all this was done on a RACE TRACK, or controlled/closed road.
Doing 110mph on the freeway is a quick way to needing to buy some walking shoes. I think they take your veh. and license, on the scene...
But, if you can convince the cop you were doing it just to have fun, well...
that`s what we`re all about on this site.
