In the context the term was used here, it is incorrect.

Over speeding refers to a speed limit that was exceeded. In this case, no one knows what speed Emmaak2 was referring to, or the speed limit in the locality the car was being driven in.

It means wen u exceed ur cars speedometer. And no 1 has done dat here....so no 1 is over speeding...dey under racing.

Siena:


Wrong definition, brother. The speedo in a road car has little to do with the engine's capabilities. The calibrations may be well beyond what the engine could achieve speed wise, or the engine may exceed the maximum digit with lots of room to spare.

Seldom is the maximum digit the exact speed the car will reach.

king406:
I have.

rainmaker12:

Every car has a speed limit mechanically, can u exceed that speed?.... Take the speedo off....

rainmaker12:

Wich car and speed attained?

king406:
peugeot 406 250kmh

Siena:


156mph in a Peugeot 406? Really? Even with the later 210hp version of the 3.0 V6 24V, a stock 406 will not reach this speed.

king406:
yeah yeah we've argued about this before but am just saying what the speedo read.

Ah, got you. So indicated, rather than actual speed, it makes perfect sense now.

This thread will never die

But people will die from senseless speed manoeuvres.

E be like say heaven dey call ur name, with all those Christmas lights on (check engine light, ABS light etc.) you were still able to hit 260km/hr. Try that in a Japanese car and tell me if you would have even been alive to take those pics.

A japmobile will do that speed with same risk as posed by a German car. The only issue is that the driver must have had a death wish.

dumo1:

Japanese cars have been known to be very unstable at high speeds and you can't compare German car with a Japanese vehicle. They are always miles apart.

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

Not the Japanese vehicles I've driven. Every vehicle designed for European and American Market today must meet or surpas a stringent requirement before its deemed safe for users. Suspension setups, drive setup, tyre specs, chassis load characteristics are all integral aspects to be considered when considering speed character of a car.
I still repeat, Japanese cars are speed capable too.

Wao! ! I was in nigeria in October 2015.on my way lagos to anambra I did 165km/hour in my hyundai Tucson 2004.Then going back to lagos in November I did a 180km/hour so confidently.Now for your information I have my 4 year only son and my younger brother and two othe friends on board.when I reached 180km .I heard voices inside reminding me how the next headline story may be.A handsome guy who just came back from abroad after 12 years .his son brother and two others now you picture the rest .so I slowed it

I guess you was aiming for 200 . Mehn!.. You wicked, thought of yoir child alone should be enough to keep you in line.

By the way those are low profile wheels which don't do pretty good with potholes
