you could say that.

Not necessarily because of speed, most times because of the new features.

I think I get sultaan's point. Although, he left calibration out.

The bigger the tire or rim diameter the higher the speed. That's where I agree with him.

However, vehicle transmistions are calibrated to be used with specific diameter of tires/rims for the speedometer to be accurate. Any change from factory sized tires and rims render the speedometer incorrect. In this case, the car with a larger sized tire than spec will be faster even though the car speedometer reads 120km/h. This is just an apparent speed not the real speed.

Driver A can claim he overtook driver B st the same apparent speed but their real speed isn't same. With real speed there is no way there will be an overtaking just like you explained

Perfect answer to the op, lalasticlala must reward you.

sultaan:
What I meant is European cars are reads kmph and American cars read mph so if both drivers claim they were doing "120" the American car will be going faster

we are talking about two cars reading in the same odometer be it in km/h or mile per hour. Let me rephrase it, can a V8 traveling at the speed of 120km/h overtake a 4 cylinder car doing the same speed? Because normally people will tell you the 4 cylinder car won't even come close because of the capacity.

A 16 cylinder Bugatti at 120km/H will not and cannot overtake a tricycle at the same speed. It's possible only if the Bugatti is accelerating and not at a constant velocity

abi ooo, people think the capacity can make it possible. actually many people think so.

Is it even possible for such a car to accelerate to that speed on Nigerian roads without encountering any obstacle that would make the driver to decelerate?

Taking note of the Fact that acceleration would be slow on such a car!

I do 200km/ph on Benin ore road, I believe someone can possibly do that 240 but it's suicidal

op,

the above says it all

I have always believed it is so, but it's common for people to tell you while traveling they were doing like 120 that no other vehicle saw their back, somebody even argued that he even overtake people doing 160/180 at 120 probably because of the capacity of the car. I couldn't allow him finish before cutting in telling him it's impossible unless his own speed clock is on miles.

Basic physics say its not possible speed = distance/time, two cars at same speed will cover same distance at same time and therefore theoretically cant over take each other

I thought as much

It is even possible for a car doing 100 to overtake you at ur 120 depending on

1. Engine size
2. Age
3. Rpmg(don't know if I got that right sha)
Etc

My belief tho!

A car doing 100 to overtake me at 120? Unless my speed clock is faulty or malfunctioning. The odometer you see on the dashboard can also be compared to a clock, it should be accurate and a reflection of the distance the car covers.

Car Talk › Is It Possible For A Car Doing 120/km To Overtake Another At The Same Speed? by ableguy(op): 1:50pm On Oct 14, 2016*

Can a car going at the speed of for instance 120km/ph overtake another car doing the same speed? I have argued about this on several occasions, because I believe the speed clock or odometer should be like a clock that's always accurate and no clock goes faster than others.
I know car engine, horsepower and capabilities differ. But then I believe a car going at the same speed can't overtake the other.
If I am doing 120 km/hr for another car to overtake me it must be doing at least 125 or 130, car gurus in the house please help.
