Hi,
I have a 99 Accord EX V6. Recently I did something I hadn't done for couple years which I later regret cuz it was just plain stupid (for me).

I was already driving 10mph over the speed limit when this little punk in a beat up Civic came right up behind me. Yes tailgating. When the road finally turned to 2 lanes, he pulled beside me at this stop light. When the light turned green, yes stupid me, floored my car. Both of our engines roared. But the difference was that he was about 100 yards behind me before I blinked.

This is not my driving habit. I normally don't drive this car with hard accelerations. I'm no car mechanic. But I know it's bad for the engine such as warpping the pistons and the cyclinders. My question is, is this one time or occassional hard acceleration just as bad?

Thanks.
