11 Car Myths
There are several ideas or stories we believe in that are not true. Today, we’ll be looking at those false believes that relates to cars and driving.

Let’s go.

1) All SUVs are Jeeps:
Actually, the reverse is the case. Not all SUVs are Jeeps but all Jeeps are SUVs. Jeep is an American automobile brand just like Innoson, BMW and Toyota.. They specialize in making SUVs. This blunder is equivalent to calling all detergents.. “OMO” or calling all Noodles.. “Indomie”.

Jeep is also an English word so you are wrong. All SUVs are jeeps even though Jeep is a Brand name.

Also I've experimented on the same km different speed issue. Some cars are faster than others when on the same speedometer clock.

Nice. Used to carry that number six on my head. Always believed that SUVs were costlier and more luxurious than salons or is it saloons.


But op are you saying that 80km/hr on a 2000 Toyota Camry is the same as 80km/hr on a 2012 Range Rover?

Some Cars Are Faster Than Others Even At The Same KM/H:
We all had our fair share of believing this when we were kids.. If you still believe your car at 80km/h overtook another car doing 120km/h on the highway, please wake up! It is highly impossicant.. if there is any word like that. Except in the event of a faulty speed gauge.

I disagree OP for example A Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, the world's fastest road legal production car with a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) if its on 80km/h vs a Toyota Camry on 120km/h. that Buggati can't overtake the Camry? I stand to be corrected.

The Bugatti will ultimately produce more horsepower per unit time when compared to the Camry but, all being normal and working fine, when the speedometer of the former says 80km/hr a traffic cop on the road would get a reading of 80km/hr.

If a Camry happens to be about simultaneously, it would record likewise if its own speedometer says 80km/hr. Neither would be faster or slower.

It could be likened to the question: Between a kilo of feathers and a kilo of stone, which is heavier? Autojosh is totally correct on this particular point.

I think there're different horsepower for cars or so. For example, we traveled one time like that with two vehicles. Toyota celica and Mercedes c class (beast or so) the celica i was in was doing 120km/hr and the c class guy said he's doing 80/90, but through the journey, the c class will go far and wait for us to catch up. What do you say about that? Cc: autojoshng

xjiggy:
na dis kain thing dey make una always fail exam. Una no dey gree listen and learn. Jeep na brand name Shikena. Wetin we dey call jeep for naija naim be Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). As for kilometers, except you be brain dead, 100km per hour na 100km per hour for every car. Wetin u fit get different be say, some vehicle get higher horsepower(hp) because of Better engines. Which means if my vehicle get 780hp and ur own na 480hp, where my vehicle fit peak at 280km per hour, ur own fit peak at 200km. So if we dey go Benin from Lagos, I fit reach quicker than you.

OlujobaSamuel:

1km/hr is same everywhere or anywhere or anytime.
my vehicle might peak at 12secs while yours did at 6secs, immediately we both peaked at 1km/hr, without any interference, the distance between us remains constant at that point.

A snail moving at 100 km/h will overtake a Bugatti Veryon moving at 99 km/h.
