Lol! Wasn't me your were chasing oh.
The Avalon can do up to 220km. . . . at 200, the drift u stated started and then i started perceiving some burn
smell likely coming from the tires.

Guess who i was racing with? 2011 Hyundai Elantra and a Range Supercharged just strolled past us like it was nothing grin shocked grin
really, 2011 elantra, so those things go that fast. I'm sure u caught up anyways.
Yea, ur avalon is limited to 209kmph,max speed is 220kmph.
Mine is limited to 214kmph,maximum speed is 250kmph so i'm sure i got the avalon up there cos he tried to follow me but eased off...The maxima totally dissapeared from the picture.
Lolz@the supercharger, a beast from hell

The next trip i am down down East is with a 2000 Chevy 3500
I will hope my speed maniac self returns. I intend seeing the limit.
Ever tried the 2006 Avalon?

My partner says he did 220 on it on the same road stretch.
What's the limit since it does up to 260 km/h

Shaw007: oMg sEriously!!? U guys did ur home work with all dose specifications. . .i'm not much of the car genius but i knw well 2 knw wat d Bmw can do right after dose guys really came in2 d market i think in d '90s as some has posted but '95 '98. . .'06 m5's(oh and no google needed friend) even punch cud av done dat pls!!! But i still argue dat i respect d asians even thouhg they av stability issues but i dont think they do with speed. . .and guys i wud like 2 ask. . .is an average benz more stable dan a BMW. . .i'm just asking,i need answers pls??(i hope d guy dat called me d slow poke sees this. . .and how fast are u anyways,dude?)
brov, no one meant quarell here you know, it was cos of the way you presented your comment earlier...
BMW vs Benz...hmmm. bmw will eat a mercedes up in the area of stability and balance, you really cant compare both, they are different in that area. Bmws are much more superior in terms of handling,better suspension and steering feedback. Around corners they perform better than almost all cars (apart from some of the porshe and maybe those high end eurocars: lambo,ferrari etc) on the road you see today.
A '01 toyota camry V6 tried following me, around a bend on the ughelli express (that axis),delta state. He kept up nicely with me at 150km/h, i was impressed, a fairly sharp curve. As soon as we came out the curve, i was getting ready for a little show but the driver just let off on the throttle immediately,way below 140/150...i guess he realized he made a mistake trying to following me,probabaly thinking to himself that it was dangerous thing he had done. Well we didnt race,we just continued normal driving.

could find maximum speed for the '06 avalon, but someone said it could go a tad beyond 135mph (about 217km/h)...that thing is fast, the most powerful engine in a toyota sedan...

w0w,thanks. . .i asked because there was dis time i was travellin' with someone hez one of d old fashined papas so there wasnt much speed.i cud av bet i only saw up 2 70.so this benz sped right past we were going 2 ibadan 4rm lagos and we were at one of those sharp corners the benz didnt slow down and just swerved on thru d bend immediately,it got on on d two side wheels and d right side of d car was in airmwe all thought that was it 4 d car,but 2 our surprise it accumulated up to 2secs in air got back its balance and started moving on. . .oh and about d M5 tin,i'm nt sure they sell them here.and if they did i wudnt know,i didnt really know what i wanted but i had my uncle get a nice fast car 4 me which isnt a sport car.i ended up with this.and if u wanna get it i think d best way if u dont av anyone 2 help is 2 just order 4 it,but beware of ur source 2 make sure its legitimate. . .thanks bR0v.

[b]Dont know about other cars though, the highest I have made on wheels is 240km/hr on Warri-Benin Expressway with my Audi A4 (quattro), 1.8 turbo engine.

Last month, I covered Lagos to Warri in 4hrs with a Nissan Maxima @ 150km/hr maximum. Thats my highest so far..

240km/h, i know that car's maximum is 260km/h unlimited, i'm not sure it can reach 240, not because it's not capable but almost all car manufacturers consider safety when sending these cars to the market. That car has around 222 or 233km/h factory limited...what year is your car?
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by TopeFl(m): 11:03am On Jul 26, 2012

Honda is more a race car than Toyota. I drove my 97 accord "bull dog" in that road @ 180km/hr and the car was willing to go beyond that when a 2003 Toyota corolla "bank type" was trying to pull a stunt. I was like a mad man on the road that day because I wouldn't let go. I was still able feel my steering and those curve where moi moi with a little release of the leg from the gas pedal . I believe that car sha.

reason for clocking 140km ; the road b4 redemption camp has just been widened and silky smooth and the temptation was 2 much.
my wife was not aware i clocked140.
conclusion : will not do it again?

Your photo may reflect that you truly travelled at that speed but how do we know you didn't just jack up the wheels, engage the gear and throttle up to that speed? It would require some concentration from someone other than the driver to focus a camera and take that picture - circumstances you can hardly manage @ 222km/hr. Anyway you did say your friend was driving, which suggests you took the picture, which begs the question: why were you without a seatbelt at 222km/hr? Or any speed for that matter?
All in all it's still do-able sha.

its possible even with the seatbelt, its not like a huge task, its somethng of less than 5/6 secs of concentration by the passenger, i had someone do it for me then, in my previous merc...though nothing too much at 160. Was comparing something about the RPM vs the car at that speed.

dino escobar: July 22, 2011 was travelling to abuja from calabar, I and my boss who is a speed freak drove his new infinty 2007 fx35 jeep. He drove from calabar to ogoja we left at about 6.30am by 9 we were in ogoja. I took over d wheels from ogoja, I remember overtaking 2 trucks and 3cars on lafia- lokoja road @230km/hr. I was scared shitless and d car was still gingering to fly.
My boss only said that was ђat d car was built for na. I never pass 160km anymore. This life na one.

that road's too bad for that my broda. I made a very huge mistake taking dat road Abuja - Uyo Dec '11. After Gboko u sure cannot do more than 100Km/hr on any type of vehicle.

correct. also even if u jack up the wheels of a car, engage gear its impossible to rev d car up to 222km/hr. the engine will over-rev, since there's no load on it (i.e. tyre's not on ground). a safety trip shd cut out fuel supply to d engine!

here comes trac the mercedes fan ok for ur info, i used a merc c class for over a year, a c220 which i sold...so you dont need to tell me about making sense or not. I'm a huge fan of mercedes, eventhough bmw drives better... i shared a toyota camry 2.2 with my cousin back then in 2009...i used the word 'probably' at different points in my comment, so i dont really understand what you talking about. whats your grouse really cos your comments are too vague to be understood.
