Jacksolo4me: First of all...This thread would probably be the reason why my third daughter may not be born..... Piece of cake. My 2008 Honda Accord is stock and definitely not European. Oh I forgot, its even I4 not V6. I know German cars are great, but u people underrate Japanese cars too much here on Nairaland. 1 Like

Sometime in April on my way to Bauchi from Lagos after about 10 hours of driving carefully in my Mercedes Benz s430 2003 model at 1.00am (mid night) I finally entered a race with two cars . One a Lexus G350 I think 2010 model and a Honda v6 can’t say which year but was above 2008 they all have same shape I think. First before I started travelling with my s class Benz I had removed the electronically limited 210km/h setting that came with the car to euro 255km/h with a friends star c3 scanner. My former fastest speed was with my 1998 Volvo s80 was 205km/h for under two minutes . All along the trip with two of my friends , I was driving at 140km/h. the car was so stable almost like we were not moving at all. Both my friends started complaining that I was driving too slowly and that if I was driving his car; Camry 08 I will be at 160km/h. Though I agreed but I assured him that soon he will be complaining that am moving to fast when I get to a good dual carriage way. At 10.00pm I dropped one of my friends off at airport junction along Abuja Kaduna road, he missed all the action, then stopped for a plate of road side Indomine and fuel for the car at about 10.35pm we were done. After the last checkpoint at the exit of Abuja on Abuja Kaduna road my Benz was between 200km/h and 217km/h for about 75km this is not the race but a worm up to it. This was just solo over speeding , at this speed the Benz was sounding with a low pitch like I was driving within town. No drama no vibration. Just quite and stable. At 217km/h it was like anything you see is reversing towards you ferociously and the white markings on the road are a beauty to behold . I forgot to add my friend was screaming he would sell his Camry and buy a Benz and that he did not know Benz is like this and that I should please slow down please. Rest of story some other time Siena: 2 Likes |

greenhulk:I dont have the balls to look at my speedometer when i start driving over 140km/hr...but i think the fastest i have done on the 3MB to Anthony axis in my Honda accord....verified with a gps app was about 155km/hr...which is not so wise intercity...but out of the city maybe more, but i won't risk snapping it just to come and show off on nairaland |

i agree the german cars have a good rep with car appreciation( speed, stability, blablabla)...we cheap asian consumers just beef you guys...give me some money and watch me sell out to a Mach/ AMG. I love the way my brother's altima revs like a raging gorilla in mating season when i slam on the accelerator pedal for max acceleration though + its cheaper 1 Like |

Increase d speed 2 160kmph. 2 my surpise + was able 2 catch the 2 crazy cars which I peeped briefly @ their speedometer almost readin 200kmph. Nah dat day nai I knw say german cars no be japanese mate. I increased it 2 170kmph, i leave them make dem dey fight on who gets 2 ilorin.

You overtook a couple of cars, you were doing speeds in excess of 160 km/h. Yet you were able to "peep" at their speedo's, and confirm they were doing speeds in excess of 190 km/h. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if your cars were all LHD, this means the speedo's of the cars you overtook were furthest from you, the driver of a LHD car. The speedo's of the cars you overtook would be easier to view by a passenger in YOUR car, but still at close to 200 km/h, pretty hard to read. If you were truly able to read the speedo's of the cars you were overtaking, at the speed you claim to have been doing, then you probably have a death wish. Or you didn't see the speedo's of these cars, and you're telling a bare faced lie. 5 Likes |

Mine's about 180KM/h with a Honda Pilot thought it wasnt on a highway. Dropped someone off and was rushing home, slowed down when I reached the high way. Its not much sha, but I still be amateur |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by Nobody: 8:38pm On Aug 09, 2014 |
Siena:Talking about LHDs, i have been able to sneak one or two peeks at peoples speedometers both while overtaking at a high speed and at a low speed and and also while parked, so yes its possible. now, from what watch said, they were all moving fast so its slightly possible to sneak a very fast peek at ones speedometer while overtaking, all you need is just to know what direction the pin is pointing at , then u can use ur head to guess the rest. |

i did something really crazy bout 2-3 weeks ago when travelling to abeokuta from lagos. drivin my 08 outlander, i was on my steady 140-150kph when the jeep in front of me moved to the side to allow me pass. Lo and behold it was one of those wide but smooth road bumps i saw, the ones specially made by FRSC. i tried to slam the brakes but was to no avail cos i was so close, ol boi next thin i simply sped over the bump and was literally in the air for a few seconds before the car landed. im sure the ppl with their cars slowly goin over the bump would never had seen a James Bond acted right before their eyes. and to my deepest satisfaction, the jeep landed with no hassles, and i simply drove off. i hail my ride. ever since then i called it "The Jump" im sure if it was a sedan, the front of the car would probably have landed hitting the ground. |

Arriving @ ilorin wen I slowed down, d drivers of d 2 cars luk @ me and smile* This is a BIG FAT LIE. Again there goes the old myth that some people still believe that a Benz doing 100km/hr is equivalent to a Japanese car doing 160km/hr. Speed is the same no matter what u drive. If I drive a keke napep and able to do 160km/hr, I will be on the same speed as u in ur Benz at 160km/hr. Let's say I got to 160km/hr before u, then u will NEVER catch me if u are doing the same speed I am doing. Let's assume u accelerated fast and got to the same level as me and then maintained that speed, then we will both be at the same level, u can't overtake me no matter what u drive. An airplane doing 160km/hr will not overtake a 1980 Toyota corolla also doing 160km/hr. So guy abeg there are no kids here on nairaland. Maybe ur car is calibrated in mph while ur opponents are in km/hr. Then at 160 u are actually doing 257km/hr which is very difficult to do on a Nigerian road. 1 Like |

The highest I ever went was 120 km/hr in a Hyundai Getz on mile 2/Apappa to airport road when suddenly I hit a bump in the road and two wheels were in d air. When d car balanced back on d road I jejely slowed down 2 60km/hr. Na God save me that day. Since that day the highest I don on interstate roads is 80km/hr.

yungboss: Alrite In as much as I said that Euro cars are better--- built in terms of the technicality n refinement the engineers put in there vehicles compare to the mass produced consumer demand concept of the Japanese cars doesn't mean that if the Japanese put their minds to it...cars like the M3, Audi Rs5, Mercedes c63 AMG wouldn't be back view mirror poster Here: The Lexus LFA, The Nissan GTR, The Acura NSX Point is they are just 3-atleast?....Now these. The Koenisserg Agira The BMW M6 The Audi S7 And RS7 The Zonda F Ferrari F1, Berlinetta, Lamboghini Aventador, Mercedes SLR, SLS AMG Black,Porsche 911 turbo, GT, GT3 RS Hyper cars,Super Cars all from Europe- 200+mph cars!!!, How can the Japanese match up to these? Now even in the previous years (90's) still with the Japanese Self Imposed 280hp restriction..Euro cars were already producing 400+HP cars that were street legal. God willing the cash drops.its Euro all the way.... Even in the virtual world they(JDM's) still don't match up.. (I am an avid GT5 online racer ) |
