Yes, the Camry can do 180km/hr.

The next question is purely based on assumption. What if the Prado driver was willing to even do more than 160km/hr? Do you think it's a feat the Prado Jeep cannot do?
What I’m trying to make you understand my is that irrespective of the car in question, the most important factor is the driver. There are some people that cannot handle speed or people that have a speed threshold that unless it’s a life and death issue, they won’t pass their limit. I know my 4 cylinder Camry isn’t a match for a V8 Prado but if I’m willing to do even 160-180km/hr in my Camry and the prado driver sees 140km/hr as overspeeding, I would have the prado for breakfast.

As I do remember too ( don’t know if this counts as road rage sha). In a hold up in town, one guy was trying to prove being a smart driver by pulling his very neat Honda civic hatchback (Hausa boys likes keeping their small cars extremely neat in and out, like it was a cult or something back then) into the little space by my side trying to force me to give way for him. [Unknowing to him, it was that same day I had paid for panelbeating and painting of my car as my guys do borrow my car a lot those days and the car is becoming too rough for my liking due to the scratches on the car and I had was driving the car home because I hate the level of discomfort in public transport so the panelbeater can come pick up the car the following day]. I knew I was supposed to stop for the guy but he just threw his face the other way feigning ignorance as if he didn’t do anything, I refused to give up my space and I felt it immediately our cars touched and he looked at me, I just threw my face the other side too and scratched the whole length of his car for the few meters I had space in front of me while grinning ear to ear grin grin. The guy jumped out of his car very surprised to survey the damage while saying ’Guy nawa oh, you for give me chance naa’. I just throwey face. I hate people who claim like say na them smart pass.

With your Toyota Camry 2001 model, you were no match with the Toyota Prado Jeep.

While on the road, it is safety first for me.
Can the 2001 Camry do 180km/hr sir? If yes, what if the Prado driver don’t want to do more than 160km/hr? Will I be a match in my 2001 Camry if this is the case? Besides, the Camry was in a good condition as it was just brought in Toks

I shared this on nairaland sometimes ago.
Mine was around Oct 2015 along Lokoja-Abuja expressway. Was going to Kaduna with a tokunbo 2001 camry from Lagos. I drive very fast and safely.

I saw this lone flashy Prado with Niger state government house number plate and tried dusting the car as the driver seems not official..... Casually dressed....... The guy saw me from his high place in the Jeep and started matching my speed we were side-by-side when we got to a town along the road with rampant motorcyclists.

I was on the speed lane and he was on the other side when I saw that a motorcyclist was on his lane ahead and thought I will lose him when he brakes but to my horror, the guy started navigating into my lane while pushing me into the little side space before the road separator with my horn blazing and my brakes crunching on the road. I was so close to having an accident that day, my mirror even scratched the separator. I was scared shitless but this fear transformed into raw fury immediately and after escaping this ordeal, I gunned the engine and overtook the Jeep to get in front and sped forward with him in hot pursuit to meet another car on his lane(all this while I was watching my rear view mirror) and he switched to my lane. Not minding what will happen to my rear, I took this moment to have my sweet revenge by slamming real hard on my brakes with both legs(something I never did before).

I watched him swerve madly behind both cars and almost running off the road with his brakes screeching and navigating to the sidewalk. I really thought the Jeep would roll over and thankfully, we were clear of where the motorcyclists were plenty or else he would have killed people that day.

I resumed my drive while the guy fell behind and I never saw him again till I got home in kaduna. In all my years of driving, I've never been more scared of my any incident both the one done to me or the one I did. I satisfied my rage notwithstanding.

I was the first to advice him against that car since he couldn't maintain a Camry. But nurey came hard on me then. Shocked he is now condemning the car. What a shame. Anything he touches, he kills.

No, I don't want to believe Jeremy Clarkson and the duo of Richard Hammond and James May weren't play-acting a script for Top Gear out there? The handling and braking on those Peugeots is horrendous to say the least.

From findings, Hp difference is almost negligible and the Lexus torque can even be achieved at a lower torque than th G35. Maybe weight was the contributing factor to the slower Lexus.

Headache? It's faster.
All numbers from Motortrend. First is the G35, second is GS350, third is IS350.

The G35 has more power, is lighter, quicker to 60 MPH, faster in the 1/4 mile and with a higher trap speed. That essentially means that even if they race for 10km, the G will still always be ahead.

It's the IS350 that matches the G35, and even then still loses in the high end due to how the VQ's powerband is.

The G is the better performance car. Better braking, better grip and lateral acceleration, better handling.

Well, I don’t think a 0.02 is much of a headache. While both of them are luxury performance cars, I think the g35 is more inclined towards the performance end while the Lexus still wanna be a Lexus as in the luxury end while still adding performance. Thanks for the insight though.

Hello Friend.
I'm about to purchase a Nigerian used Lexus ES330 from cars45. The inspection report is superb. The mileage is good. My problem is that the price is strange. It's going for 1.3m. I don't have much knowledge of cars so I'm a bit skeptical because I thought it should be more expensive than that but I just hope I'm just been lucky. Experts, I would appreciate ur opinions on the pros and cons of a used Lexus ES330.
Thanks a lot
As you have left their yard/store/showroom without parting with your cash already, please just keep moving and never go back there. Block all their contacts and never entertain the thought of their name in your mind ever again! If you hear cars45, RUN! Please I'm begging you. Or else, it'll end in tears.

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
Merci. Bon voyage.

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
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.
