I know you can't reply/disagree without being uncouth. Enjoy your experience. wink

What is uncouth about my response. I made a position on my experience and handling of EOD you came with epistle...if I was uncouth can you point it out bro...I am sorry if I was

But the truth is that ..one of the major reasons that drivers die in accident is not knowing the limitations of their cars... It is like racing Honda EOD with C35 AMG or BMW 3 SERIES I bro don't so that...it is like singing ones Requiem or dirge...please don't do that.

It is like me trying me trying to use ML 4MATIC to race a McLaren Benz or CLK that is grounded with low clearance ...In a sharp bend.. that also would be suicidal.

My dear Honda cars aren't designed for performance but for utility (transportation from point A to B) please don't race BMW, Benz , Fiat even posche or Saab...these are performance cars !

We must always know limitations of our cars to avoid stories that touch later or had I known position

If I was uncouth, I no see where I was , but no vez

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?

EOD v6 will eat your 318 or 320 for breakfast. Don't play with that car. You drove a shitty eod, period.
And since you have refused to learn, wallow in your ignorance.

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
It is called suspension tuning and setup. It doesn't change the weight of a car at speeds. It does affect how it corners.
Corners are not to be taken at excessive speeds. Every vehicle has its limits based o. It's design.
But for pure straight line speed, feeling planted doesn't mean shit. Dragsters are the worst handling cars in the world, but they will obliterate any car in a straightline dash and they feel planted.

I have receipts for flooring an 09 Corolla. Didn't feel very light, just surprised RPM was at 6k for only 180 grin - it braked just fine and I used common sense to brake in and accelerate out of corners.

Even my former w211 4matic at 180kph on unstable Nigerian roads will still dance. I just think it's a confidence thing. I drive at speeds of above 160km regularly on my charger and it corners more awfully than a Corolla at the same speed, so na common sense I dey use.

I think it has to do with the suspension setup, honestly. Like I said, NVH and build quality is also important.

A bad suspension setup will bounce more, and you'll start hearing sounds. Luxury cars usually have better NVH too, so less road noise and vibrations. Build quality also influence cabin rattles.

When you're going at speed and your car starts bouncing due to suspension issues, plus you start hearing a cacophony of noises, it definitely reduces confidence.

Simple.
I guess the charger has more body roll than the corolla or the big engine affects the weight distribution.
Simple things yet people make it look so complicated.

Baba I tire o. Like HeavenlyBang rightly pointed out, most persons on here drive rickety Japs at high speeds and expect stability and balance from worn-out suspension systems.

The average German car doesn't tolerate abuse and is likely to be in better shape maintenance-wise than a comparable Jap. The Japs can just about soldier on until they can't, and then they go on some more. The threshold for abuse is very low for a German car and this is a blessing in disguise, because it will mostly likely be in better shape during any face-off on our God forsaken death traps called roads.

Suspension,struts, ground clearance, body design, center of mass, aerodynamics e.t.c
They are all important determinants of how a vehicle handles in high speeds.
Especially breaking and cornering.
I believe you have seen accident scenes where vehicles involved veer off the road and end up in a valley, river or heaven grin grin
Do you think it was the drivers intentions to steer into valleys or a river.
