Hmmmm....now I'm flushed...that speedometer is from which car?..Last time I checked a 2008 Honda Accord speedometer looked like this...

Pssss...I hope you'll enlighten us which variant of your Car has a speedometer that looks like this---And don't give me the modified speedo crap

Don't go ripping just to get noticed.

abatically:

Of course I know what I'm saying, an airplane doing 50km/hr will not overtake a bicycle doing 50km/hr. So then tell me how a car doing 160km/hr can overtake another car doing 200km/hr.

I wonder what u are thinking.. so u think when a BMW is doing 100km/hr it means it is faster than a keke napep at the same speed? The only difference is that the BMW will get to that speed first. If both vehicles are level at the same speed, then both will be level.

How else do u think cops use radar guns to track speed? Or do radar guns know if a vehicle is BMW or Benz or Toyota? It gets its result based on what speed a vehicle is doing

Decency75: you guys must be freaky joking, on a Nigerian deadly road? So, over speeding is making you people feel like a Hero. Shame to all of you.

elbedso:
I think What gets people confused is simply actual speed and indicated speed.

elbedso:
Wow what a myopic and dumb thing to say. You should know that the accord has different variants. And the dash and body will differ depending on the country / region
A common example is the American spec corolla and the 'bank type corolla'
Both are 2 variants of corolla with different body shapes,and there's probably still more sef which i don't know about

Hey! Have you watched "Need For Speed" yet? You remind me of Imogen Poots, who knew more about cars than she let on.

elbedso:
Yes exactly!! I love the looks of the passat cc too but I honestly feel it could do with a more powerful engine
The cls class remains best example of 4 door coupe in my opinion

elbedso:
Lol not all Nigerian roads are deadly. There's some pretty decent stretches of road in Nigeria. In Lagos for example I like 3rd mainland with light traffic, the far right corner of the bridge, the side with the water, happens to be my best. It's quite smooth and also it's like the fast lane of the bridge, cos people are hardly there. Maybe dem dey fear water lol

gmyguy: I like that lane too....but its very risky sometimes when you come across stationary vehicles and someone is dogtailing you...it can be disastrous...there was a time at twilight...a stationary vehicle was only seen at the last minute and i even cleared off a Caution sign, my friend behind who was chasing me had to screech to a near halt...a perplexed driver/bystander almost jumped into the lagoon.

Other times...you just like a boss....Speed is dangerous and kills...no be video game / edge of tomorrow...No repeat

Specialist900:
05 corolla, 160km/ph. Along Abuja airport road.

I had luggage which added massive weight to the car at the time but at that speed the car still felt too light on the road. I had to reduce speed for safety sake o.

SailorXY:
I can't remember how many times I have cancelled the speedometer on 05 Corolla. LoL

sparkleboy: I have done 160km/hr on lagos ibadan express way Toyota Corolla 2004, my mum was in the car but she didn't notice cos the a/c was on and she wasn't paying attentionf not she would have called my Dad straight off.
Also 140km/hr akure to ife Toyota corolla 2003,
140km /hr ibadan to Ife, Toyota highlander 2006.

Siena:

How do you cancel the speedo on a car?? I don't get this, could you clarify this, please?

yungboss: nice topic, hope you wouldn't mind my narration:
chasing a 2002 toyota avalon and a nissan maxima 2.5 whose egotistic drivers earlier on, thought blaring their horns behind me in an irritating manner on a bad ph/warri road would make me a pushover in my very sound '95 bmw 320i the avalon took me out from almost zero... on hitting a good stretch of the road. chased him ...even though he kept widening the gap up until 150km/h after which his family sedan got tired...he tried all he could with his hazard starting to blink at 160... (at this point the maxima had let off a bit) i pushed easily closing up to hit 190km/h taking him outta the way same time giving him my hazard as a polite way to pay back....trying not to be more than 5cars behind,he kept tryin to close in but couldn't do nil as he let off and with the road still silky smooth with a good view ahead, i cruised for a while to make sure this family car gets small in my rear view mirror before i restored some civility to the road...

gmyguy: that's how fast i park...piece o cake

sparkleboy:
Of course. I know that, but maybe when I get a german machine will be able to get to the 220km/he mark, aleast for starters in the 200km/hr range

kablooee:

be careful bro speed.........................................

Siena: King406, the Peugeot 406 2.2 SRI makes 157 hp, with a maximum speed of 135 mph.

Now unless your car was extensively modified, there's no way it would hit 150 mph.

Your speedo must be over reading by a massive margin.

lol,

Siena,

i thought i was the only that saw what he wrote

240kmph
