Kindly explain what you mean.
1.is it that when the EOD gets to speeds above 120km/hr, the manufacturers stated mass of the vehicle defies laws of physics and changes ?
2. Are you talking about steering feedback?
3. Are you talking about vehicle traction?
4. Are you talking about oversteer or understeer?
5. Are you talking about the inability of the EOD to generate enough down force to give its tires more traction?
6. How many g's does the EOD pull during a slalom test?

You do realise the EOD has a higher ground clearance and driver position than the c class of the same year?
Ever seen a go-cart with the driver literally millimeters off the ground?
Do you think any sedan will ever feel as planted to the ground as a go-cart?
You do realise a go cart is about ten times lighter than a sedan and will take corners in ways no sedan can?

You sound like me when I was 6 years old.



By the time, you are done answering me all these, maybe you'd know better.

Bros all these grammar us uncalled for... I told you that u drove EOD and it was light as a paper you still dey blow big English

It is my experience not yours .... Why drink Panadol for my own headache

I just pray that exaggeration won't land you in a big trouble someday. Haba! You made this thing sound like a 100-120km/hr is the take-off speed for those cars. The 2003 camry, 2005 Accord and 2005 Avalon, I have pushed those cars to 200km/hr on my favorite section of the Abuja-Lokoja expressway on several occasions but they didn't fly off like a paper as you pointed out. Makes me wonder what type of honder you drove. Have you ever done 180km/hr in your benzedes and it didn't feel lighted than cruising speeds? We all know a German car is a little planted than the japs at speeds and that's why they are a whole lot heavier but stop making it look like it's the end of the world.
@ heavenlybang, you used a Lexus before your current and I am sure you've pushed above 150km/hr before. Did your speedo start reading knots?

Wait, where do people hear that these cars have bad transmissions. I saw someone else saying it on here too the other day. Are they assuming it uses the same transmission as the Murano?

The 5-speed and 7-speeds are rock solid. Same with the engines. That combo is just as solid as the old M112 + 722.6 duo. Honestly, the powertrain is the best part of these cars.

May be he drove an accidented one with bent chassis, bad wheel or so!

Lokoja/ Abuja road! One of the good roads to put your ride to the test when it comes to speed. I just love it.

Note Aside from those yeye gully sections spoilt by heavy duty trucks or trailers,many lifes lost to that bad place before Abaji.

Lol, it didn't fly off, but my current car feels more grounded. I'm not saying that an Accord would fly off at high speeds, but there are quite obviously levels to the stability game. Even the Benz gan won't feel as stable as a Lamborghini. That's just the way it is.

We both reached an agreement with the engine being bulletproof,he wasn't just too convinced with the transmission. May be kazeem's has shown him the ABRO experience grin

My brother tell am oooo maybe he thinks that EOD is grounded car on high speed maybe he would say it corners better than C Class or BMW 3 series ....

There are things worth arguing...not this

Maybe tomorrow I would be arguing that C class corners better than Bugatti Veyron

People seff no dey know he level their cars are ..na why Dem dey die for highway ... Tomorrow he would want to face AMG C Class with EOD... That would be suicidal !

Na so you go see them for express way using EOD racing C35 AMG... Na die be that

You can do 200km/h on the cars you mentioned...but while on it, have you bothered to think what will happen if you need to break or steer suddenly to avoid potholes, animals, people or another vehicle?
No one is saying your vehicle will lift off the ground and take off like a jet but you will indeed lose steering control and stability.

Another way to test how well your car is grounded is to park beside the highway, a road where vehicles are doing average speed of like 120km.
Stay inside the car, you will observe that Ur car will bounce when a vehicle drives past you.
How your car bounces when a car or truck drives past where you are parked will tell you how grounded your car is..I've done this with different cars/SUVs and the results are not the same.
I invented this test myself wink....give it a try and tell us Ur experience. cheesy

Small boy. wink

Your common sense did not tell you that a featherweight Lamborghini or Supra will fail the so-called test compared to a very much heavier lorry or truck. Does it mean the lorry has more balance than the sports car?

Why am I here typing and not 6ft under if I indeed lose steering control? I understand your point but in you guys quest to emphasize your points, you exaggerate too much and una lies don dey become the truth. I know those japs are way lighter on speeds unlike the germans. Do tell me that the benzedes does not feel light too.
