If you haven't seen it, go over to www.vtec.net, register, and watch the Ridgeline doing something no other trucks could do.

Nice videos! THe Ridgeline was really tight in the cornering. Almost forgot they were in a truck!

Very nice review.

Lack of paint makes it lighter weight for racin'.

Honda is very protective of the other colors and wouldn't let them auto-cross in anything but Silver. I mean if they got a little scratch on it so what, just bring it back they will finish the paint process and no one will know

.

The video was cool, although they didn't talk during the Ridgeline drive (or maybe they did and my video is messed up) but they did during the RL drive, I would be curious of their opinion of it while they were on the track.

Which proves my point cappy that Silver is Honda's favorite. They like to see to it that it is well taken care of.

Yup I have all 4 videos on my machine and have watched them all, I was just disappointed that during the RL's drive they talk through the actual performance while they are performing turns and such, but not in the Ridgeline. The running commentary was interesting because it was in the moment impression which helps versus the after thoughts they had when they had completed several runs.
