How fast is an Explorer?
 

I had a little roadrage with one and I couldn't really get away from him and neither could he.

I only lost him when I hit the higher speeds, that or he was scared.

I have v6.

If it is a 2006 +, and a V8, it has ~292 hp, and fast. Even the older v8's are pretty fast.

LOL @ you have a V6.. you must've gotten the chinese version of the X5.. hahhahaaha:rofl:

ROFLMAO @ fast.. haha :rofl: :rofl:

haha

ok, maybe not Ferrari fast, but yes, for normal people, it is fast. :confused:

let's see, it's not even dodge neon fast, Honda minivan fast, or ford focus fast... 0-60 in 8 secs.. 1/4 mile in 16+ secs according to some mags...

The site I'm looking at says 7.4 seconds, but I give up, it feels fast

How about this....It's fast for a Ford Explorer.

It feels fast to you? Wow you guys have low standards. :nanana: (jk)

Even the Ford Mustang, with 240 lb/ft of torque, didn't feel fast. And I made that thing go 0-60 in about 7.3 secs! (Yes, I did do an accel test on the rental). "fast" is M3. "Fairly quick" is an Acura CL Type S (MT) or a BMW 330i.

Yeah it's fast to flip over!

No it's not. With RSC, (1st mainstream SUV to have it standard) trust me, it's hard to roll it over. Yes, I have tried.
When I was driving the V8 Explorer up mountains in Colorado, it was flying past most cars and suvs which were struggling.

OK folks. Quick is a better description. But fast? Well that's a stretch wouldn't you agree? OBTW i believe an explorer is an SUV correct?

how about we forget about it. :)
Yes, the Explorer is a SUV...:confused:

Awww shucks. If you insist.
I was Just funnin ya.........:rofl: :rofl:

I gotcha, I gotcha, you think I don't know you :rofl: :rofl:

Hmmmm What exactly do you mean by that ????:rofl: :rofl: Don't answer that :rolleyes:

Were you driving in sport /manumatic mode?
