peterjero: Man, its a matter of flare and choice; it gives you satisfaction and confidence of wht you've got under your hood and even the safety that follows your customize stability;also a feel of your ride.. There's no way i can explain this to a non petrol head, but just take a lip from here; each time i enter my cars to drive , i feel this satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment on my steering wheels; even my painting thrills, acceleration, cornering , gear selections thrills me, but that doesn't happen when i'm in other peoples steering wheel, i dont know if you get it? so to me is no hassle but its thrilling getting things tune up that way especially by myself. It's always a huge relief from stress and long day activities, thats why i like travelling in my self driven car 100 percent , do all the twisting and kickdown as i like ..when i am driving my tune vehicles,it's entering into my rest and vacation. 1 Like |

CityNG: Mehn! my ride has to look pleasantly different from the crowd, even if it may be d same model yr and brand, but it must stand out unique both in performance & physical appearance the way it pleases me. it must satisfy my yearning of a ride You know what, some people think because they hate something, automatically it must be imposed on others to hate same..very wrong ideology..one man's meat maybe another man's poison..the earlier we realise this the sooner we allow others a chance and fair play in our world, to accommodate all and make life meaningful...

Very well, everyone seems to be highlighting how fast they've ever gone. My Mazda 626 2000 yr model hunch back, 2.4 v6 I do a steady no shaking 140km/hr on Lagos Ibadan and still top at speeds of 160 and that's a norm cos I ply the route at least twice a month, and when I hit it off on Ogbomosho to Ilorin , that smooth highway then am enjoying my ride at minimum of 170km/hr, most times I have to pull back from the needle hitting 200. That car is damn stable. And oh I once hit 215km/hr on kd to abj highway in an Infiniti m35 belonging to a street bro of mine. If I ever pass by u with my Mazda u know it's me when u see d dragon stickers on a chocolate painted 626. And oh my Mazda is a stick shift not the auto tranny most of ya are bragging about. There's a dif in making love to a car and driving a car 1 Like |

Or are u thinking manual trannys are faster than autos? That's an old myth. Driving a manual doesn't make u more of a man and driving an auto doesn't make someone less of a man either. Its a thing of choice. |

Driving a manual doesn't make u more of a man and driving an auto doesn't make someone less of a man either. Its a thing of choice. There's absolutely nothing wrong with automatics. I personally prefer manual, though I rock both. Some bigger cars are best with auto though. With regards to manuals being faster than autos, it's not an old myth. It's very true, unless you're referring to newer twin-clutch / DSG / SMG / Powershift automatics that are fitted to later high-end cars 1 Like |

Siena: Yea, bigger cars require auto. I can't imagine a full size luxury sedan like Mercedes Benz s class fitted with manual tranny, makes absolutely no sense. Or a manual tranny range rover LR4 or Lexus LX570. Yes traditionally manuals are faster but the gap has been greatly closed in newer cars especially performance cars. 1 Like |

king406: I've reached up to 240kmph with a peugeot 406 EW12 on abuja airport road, u would wonder how balanced that car is at that high speed, I've also done 170kmph with a peugeot 207 1.8Turbo, u would wonder where peugeot gets its horsepower from, maybe because of their high rpm's, even as a hatchback the 207 is very balanced on the highway, have done 110mph with a 2003 infiniti qx4 too, 3.5liter v6 engine, its fast but I hate the four speed autois your QX4 a RWD or 4WD model? |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by omicpet(m): 7:21pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
abatically: No disregard to auto tranny, am just an advent lover of stick shifts and I believe when talking about speeds and acceleration and stability it all comes to the driver . Yes the car is also a a decider but why sit behind a wheel and not push the machine to it limits with your skill and handling rather with a lazy laid back foot on the gas pedal and all you have to do is slow at turns when precision timing and skill can make you shift gears in and out of corners with such Taa da feeling .CONTROL,TIMIMG AND GUTS. Let's not forget patience |

lomomike: is your QX4 a RWD or 4WD model?I agree with your 406. Got a EW10 meself and I must say am still always amazed at ow fast and balanced it gets on highway plus fuel consumption makes me feel like to hell with hybrid . Just kidding about that but actually fuel consumption with what I get for such performance and stability is top notch |
