pilot has a 3.5 V6. NASTY motor, but the truck weighs a TON

The 08 6 speed accord with the same motor, is disgustingly fast

Seriously, the new 08 Accord 6 speeds are SICK, def. move out. It’s becoming the new swap, just not many people are doing it because you’ll have to go F-Body style w/ a cowl hood to fit that fucker in there. J32(Acura TL 3.2 V6, or Acura CL-S) and the J35(new Accord V6, and older Accord V6, as well as the Honda Pilot) and usually use the TL-S or TL/Accord 5 or 6 speeds. Usually the swaps put down around 250-270whp and 250wtq bone stock…Some examples to get boners over…

I see the term “fit” is used pretty loosely. Stupid things stick a good 6+ inches above the top of the fender… GAAAYYYYY!

Yeah I noticed that as well, but i mean who would’ve thought a V6 would fit in a civic? If I wind up doing this swap, I’ll probably make a cowl hood so I don’t have to A. cut the OEM hood and B. drive with no hood.

okay this has been bugging me for a while now. I keep seeing a nice mustang (I think its a saleen). Around RPI’s campus. It’s SICK. Dark dark grey. Has an almost “duckbill” spoiler that is huge and badass. The best part is he doesn’t drive around like a jackass.

By far favorite mustang of that year. I think it’s like 99-04. The gen right before they did the throw back. Props to him. If anyone knows him or if he’s on here.
