Danfuster:



yes they are speed capable but aerodynamic, balance and handling i doubt, maybe a supra... I don't toyota would even bring that back

9icetoo:

Even a volkswagen polo is "german". And that makes it handle better than a subaru impreza?

Danfuster:


You never know...have you driven both before, if yes... What year, model and specs. Let's take it from there.

king406:
I was scrolling through my old photos and I found this picture of me maxing out a 2005 corolla three years ago. This car is one of the worst cars I've ever driven based on performance, as in eh, the thing felt as if it was no longer on the road, at its top speed of 110mph that 1.8liter engine is rotating at 6000rpm we have 1.6liter engine cars that are far better than that. Mehn a big engine is big engine, at 110mph my Mercedes engine rotates at just 3200rpm or so

ataspray:

lol ur a bad driver perhaps thats why .. i have maxed out a corolla 2004 just like yours at about 4,000 rpm before

9icetoo:

Really? Well, you can stay on the German bandwagon.

Danfuster:





I'm only trying to be reasonable and fair or rather I guess this is what you suggest we compare :

1st Gen subaru

"The Subaru Impreza is a compact automobile that has been manufactured since 1992 by Subaru. Subaru introduced the Impreza as a replacement for the Leone, with the Leone's EA series engines replaced by the newer EJ series versions."


1st Gen vw polo

"From inception to the latest model, a timeline of the popular Volkswagen Polo.

Compact and stylish, the Polo is easily one of the most versatile and popular hatchback models released by Volkswagen. First released in 1975, the VW Polo has undergone at least five facelifts during its lifetime and is currently available in a range of engine sizes and styles."

Since you just wanted to compare any subaru impreza and a polo, then I guess this is good enough.

Why do you wish to derai this thread (even though I am not in support of it)?

w808:
I did 210km in a volkswagen golf5gti

Unless the Corolla you drove had a diesel gearbox, you would be doing considerably more than 4000 rpm at the car's maximum speed. 7ou would also have to define what "maxed out" means. What was the maximum speed indication on the speedo dial?

For reference, the average gasoline-engined car with a manual gearbox has an engine rpm of 3000 at an indicated 70 mph.

ataspray:

from d picture i posted i had an engine rpm of about 4000 doing approx 170km/h. when i hit 180km/h (maximum indicated speed on the speedo of the corolla) i was still doing slightly less than 5000 rpm.

Danfuster:


I doubt you achieved this on that road cos I know this road very well, cos there are a handful of corners, you'd hit a corner before you climb 160km/hr. Sango to Ifo is a busy road with lots of pothole, Ifo through arigbajo to Papa has about four corners with uneven road. Then you have ewekoro, itori, wasimi. You start hitting corners from itori till you get to Aro psychiatric hospital.

If you said you did this enroute benin-asaba, I'd doubt not

darmylolah:

I understand what u meant sir, I meant lag abeokuta/shagamu road. And d SL500 could make 100km/h in 6secs, so making 260 ws within 18secs sir. Thkz for ur comment.

Danfuster:


You're welcome sir, I hope to set my own record with my E430 V8 16plug

VISTIN:
It was like a mirage but it happened. I still sheever each time I rmeber it.

That was BMW 5 Series (3.5) @ 210km/h.

Ore to Ijebu-Ode.

Left Asaba 6:50am and got to Lagos 10:15am (3hrs/25mins).
Won't try such now.

kingreign:


Wow! Tell me something.
Gazzuzz come see aeroplane on the road.
Nurey try and beat this record from Kano to Lagos pls.

nurey:


This is for the faint of heart, I am still a Virgin so won't try such

juke on steroids

kingreign:


Can't you spot the lie in between the yarn?

Siena:
I last saw this car in Sweden back in 2010. I believe this car is yet to be beaten, as at 2014, it still held the European record as the fastest steel-bodied, road-legal car.

That's 1300hp for you.

Make: Audi.
Model: 90 Quattro.
Model year: 1985.
Engine: 2.2 (2226cc) I5 DOHC 20V Turbo.
Power: 1300hp.
Drive: Permanent AWD with lockable centre and rear differential.
Transmission: 5-speed 016 manual gearbox.

Spencer0991:
Some might not believe this but I did 192 on abuja expressway in a Toyota camry wagon perhaps 1995 s 1995 model or so

Danfuster:


apologies bro...that wasn't my intent, I'm just trying to set something straight.

For someone jumping to conclusion to tag me a German fan boy who can't argue with verified facts.

I'm a car enthusiast, I love this thread and definitely learnt a lot from here.
