nurey: I disagree with u. Maybe the driver just didn't want to race u. I wonder why people always think they outrun one car or the other. It's not like u two agreed to race in the first place. I might be cruising at 120 and I have my mind made up that I won't exceed 120. Then are behind me and gaining speed , goes beyond 120, gets to 130 and overtakes me. It doesn't mean ur car is faster than mine. The2007 Honda accord DC i4 will comfortably do 190km/hr and still maintain its stability. Good luck doing 175km/hr with the sienna. A Toyota sienna has top speed of 180km/hr while a Honda accord DC got 240km/hr. The Honda accord has power to weight ratio of more than 40% better than the sienna. So tell me in what way is the sienna faster or better performance car than the accord? |

abatically: Bingo. This is why a race track is the only true way to measure performance. Guy may be cruising at his pace and watching that maniac driver wasting his gas Just this morning I was driving my Jetta to work, I came up on an Acura NSX, I out cornered him, passed him, and left him in my dust as I was late for work. It would be very silly of me to come online and jubilate. That NSX will use my Jetta to wipe it's butt anyday, anytime, anywhere. 2 Likes

CityNG: Very true, only on a race track can judge. I just laugh at all these guys saying they outrun someone when the person they claim they outran didn't even agree to race with them. |

nurey: this is not true...the accord you referred to as DC is the 2006 right? it will mop the floor with your Siena...you will struggle to see its tail lights at 130...mph I mean, that's if your Siena would ever hit 120mph |
Re: High performance Cars info Zone by yungboss(m): 9:28pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
abatically:good points made. The Honda wasn't racing...a car that did not run up with you at 120,130(km/h as you inferred) wasn't racing,sorry. You will get beat up badly by a 2005 accord i4,sorry to say. I referred to power-to-weight ratio earlier too and aerodynamics (I didn't check them up), the 'yota has about 184bhp,and heavier than the accord, that is just slightly more than the power of the accord's i4...bottomline is, the accord wasn't racing. In a true race,the 2002 Siena would be eaten up. 3 Likes |

yungboss: Toyota Sienna at 120mph? The max on its speedo is 110mph so at 100mph the sienna is already approaching top speed. 2007 Honda accord I4 will dust the sienna anytime anyday. |

I was on the M40 this afternoon, doing a sedate 85mph (137 km/h). A 2007 BMW 325 Ci blew past me, leaving me inhaling expensive-smelling, high-octane gasoline. I was driving my 2005 Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 V8, 350hp / 440Nm against the Beemer's 3.0 I6, 215hp / 270Nm. I guess the BMW E90 is faster, and my car's maximum speed is 137 km/h. 4 Likes |

nurey: Even if the guy was racing with u, its still not enough reason to think ur car is faster than his. 1. He might not have the heart to go above the speed he was doing. 2. His car might not be in best of condition 3. Maybe he's not just in the mood, or someone who got responsibilities. I use to go beyond 200km/hr in the past, now I got responsibilities I watch my speed. 1 Like |
Re: High performance Cars info Zone by nurey(m): 9:52pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
greenhulk: Ok noted. I don't do more than 120km/h either in an suv or higher equivalent car |

You should really get rid of that slowass Audi of yours, really. I know a certain character who will do you a favor and take it off your hands so that you can stop holding up traffic on the M40 |
Re: High performance Cars info Zone by yungboss(m): 10:39pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
nurey:*sighs* your sienna weighs about 5000lb whilst the accord weighs around 3200lbs... your sienna's bhp is around 184-220(depending on year...) whilst the accord is around 166...slight hp advantage...so what's the bhp/lbs ratio?...this would affect the speed of both cars considerably, evidence: your sienna would run the ¼ mile at around 17 sec, the accord i4 in question would do it in around 16.5s. 0-60 time in the sienna and accord are around 9s and 8s respectively... these are just the numbers, other details apply too. |

Siena: Just those two keeps coming up. Now that I know what we're looking for I'll widen the search. I think we'll have better luck near San Fransisco. That's the mecca for obscure cars. |
Re: High performance Cars info Zone by Nobody: 5:53am On Sep 11, 2014 |
CityNG: True that, and guess what? It's got a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine, adaptive 4WD for various terrain, and you could make what I call precision driving and drifting. And when you're done, you could still do some light offroading some useless SUVs can't even try walking on sand or snow but this evo drives and drifts hard precisely and fast in these elements and this is from a company that many won't expect much from. That car is sooo good, so much so that it will always smell the tail of a Lamborghini murceliago LP 640 super sport car now can you imagine a 4 cylinder making a V12 sweat real hard. So also is another car small unimposing, mediocre price tag, yet awesome driving ecstacy, subaru impreza WRX. Now these are super normal cars. Guess what these two cars (EVO and IMPREZA) have in common? 1.They're Japmobiles 2. They've got 2L i4 engines 3. They've got 4wheel drives 4. They're rally cars. |

lomomike: When I lived in Texas, I looked forward to days with snow and ice. Cause Man that Evo comes into it's own. The only other "performance cars" I see on the road on my commute is a certain black Porsche 911 S4 driven by a Lady.

ZeusAyo: First off, am not ''teaching'' as I know you implied but trying to ''acquire'' info and concerning those v4s you mentioned my guess s they have been heavily modified because unless the drivers of the camaro or mustang are pu55ies , i dont see how the evolution would beat them.its not a performace car but can be fine tuned into one and stop trying to twist my word, you know what i mean by HIGH PERFORMANCE CARS cheers!!! Subaru WRX, wrx STI, mitsubishi EVO, and the likes are all turbo charged four cylinder engines that can be easily tuned to well over 600bhp. Then throw in the fact that they're equipped with AWD, they're light weight, and have quick 0-100km times making them ideal for rally racing and drifting. That's not to take away from muscle cars like the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, and Dodge Charger that have a variety of options under the hood (v6-v8 supercharged) which are a blast to drive with more dependable engine life. Comparing apples to oranges here. |

ZeusAyo: anything sporting Λ v6 engine upwards that's what I mean or do we have any 4cylinder high performance vehicle? And why siena like dey tackle me?Some large cars have V6 in order to provide enough power to drive their weigh at decent speeds and mostly take offs. It'd be better if you gave more specific engine configurations like having a Turbocharged engine, a range of Hp power provided by your target car engines, Torque range for those cars, 0-60miles dash time range,etc would well defining your target cars and filter out a lot of other who have a V8 or V6 engines and are still not sport vehicles. |
