Some people will kill themselves to prove a point here. If you had flown out of the road while snapping that blurry picture, nobody here will be aware of your gallant death for NL and even if we were, it will be said you were making call. We will never know.

Now that i have two V6s, na so te joly-joly i dey do each time i dey drive wink

The first time i drove my first V6, I came out of the car giggling like a girl grin

One thing about V6, the non-V6 people fail to understand is that its not just about the power, torque or fast acceleration alone, but the engine sound note. The way V6 engine dey sound as the acceleration dey increase dey make me happy pass Obama grin Honestly, its a wonderful world wink

If u like engine note, u can take off your air box and install a Cold air intake or ram air intake, might lose low end and gain at highend, but the exhuat note is to die for smiley. I lost low end torque but gained at the high end. SIENNA can show you how to build one ,, or u can buy one already,

160kmph with a 1995 Toyota Camry between Okigwe and Enugu racing with an empty Toyota 2008 Hummer Bus. I took the prize.

I do up to 140kmph on winding roads but I must know the roads very well.

In all speed is bad but sweet. Nigerian roads arent it at all.

hit 180km/h last week. 2000 Camry I4 (pencil-light)

just came in from a trip, same car but I only hit 150 km/h undecided what could be wrong?

P.S; Check engine light was on and I scanned the car before the trip. It reported a Camshaft sensor error and Oxygen sensor 2 error.

Had cause 2go to Lagos from Abk last week wednesday through Lagos Ibadan Express Way. Road was way free. Did 140 to 160kmh to Lagos but on my return, did avg 180 to 200kmh. Car was Toyota COrrola 2011 1.6l manual; tight AC and gbedu blasting. Car was as light as paper. Have also done 130kmh on a golf GTI manual (abk to ibadan). Done 140kmh to 160kmh in my grand cherokee 5.9l V8 from abk to ibadan car is a monster. @ the touch of the gas pedal, it jumps and the engine roars. Infact the sound @ the exhaust is what inspires my driving it regardless of the fuel consumption. When travelling with this car, what i loose slowing down @ bends and portions of bad roads, i gain it back on the stretches of good roads...

before i say anything, yes i know. speed kills so let me be.

used to do a lot of travelling with my dad. didnt want him driving long distances so i drove for him. always at moderated speeds of course.
you shouters of speed kills are actually the ones who sometimes create obstacles along the way. if you know you cant move, then by all means get out of the way of faster vehicles.
wouldnt say this is my list of fastest speeds ever (cos i still wanna go faster), just my list of fastest speeds with different cars.

1. 05 toyota corolla 190 kph benin-warri express
2. 97 honda accord (bulldog v6) 200 kph ife-ibadan express
3. 97 honda accord (bulldog v6) clocked out the speedo (just saw fast and furious4 that night and this audi 80 zoomed past on 3rd mainland while i was trying to restrain myself. needless to say i showed him grin. needless to say i REFUSED to drive to go see fast 5)
4. 09 kia optima 187 kph. lokoja-abuja express
5. 10 toyota corolla 190 kph lokoja abuja express. (lovely engine, crappy brakes)
6. 10 hyundai ix35 180 kph benin warri express (seriously underpowered)
7. 2006 acura tl coming soon ( neeed to buy one first wink )
Which 2005 Corolla have u seen wit 190km/h? Maximum is 180km/h. Pls cook ur lies well next time..

To all the guys driving above 120km/hr on naija roads. PLS PLS and PLS. Whenever you decide to do it again, make sure you are the only one in the car. Don't put your family or friends in danger. You have to been insane to drive at such speeds on naija roads. You can't put your life on a machine that can give way at any second. What if you loose a tyre (numerous expired and bad tires abound), what if you hit a pot hole, what if robbers throw a rim at you. STOP iT OOOO. It is not funny.
don't believe them, most are just lying. Gain sayings just to boost ego
