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.

It feels fast to you? Wow you guys have low standards. (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.
