What is the Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 0-60 time?

The Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 reaches 60 mph in 8.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,367th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 quarter mile time?

16.99 s at 82.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 have?

253 bhp and 2,062 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253?

Closest here on pace: Mercury Grand Marquis 4.6 V8 Duratec 224 (9.01 s), Saab 9-5 2.3t 185 (9.03 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 185 (2001) (8.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Pilot 3.5 V6 253

The 2009 Honda Pilot 3.5 V6 253 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,062 kg with 253 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.86 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,367th quickest to 60 mph, and the 79th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 82.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.
