Any proof bro? Or just mere assumption? And please, don't mention Youtube.

As for the GTR, you're comparing a 2012 car with one that was first produced in 2002. I would use a current Audi model. The current Audi RS3 which is based upon a humble Audi A3 is quicker than the GTR, despite having less power. Audi have quoted 4.9 for the 0-62 mph dash, but so far, those figures are conservative. Because times of 3.9 - 4.2 seconds have been achieved by Topgear, Driven, 5th Gear and a whole bunch of motoring magazines.

Besides the Nissan GTR, Mitsubishi Evo, Older Supra there aren't any seriously quick Japmobiles, definitely none in the Superminin, medium to large family sedan range. Unlike Audi who produce seriously fast cars, from the smallest hatch to the full-size family sedan, then of course the Supercars - Audi R8, which I wouldn't class as slow.

Gosh - this thread has changed direction.

JUO: 1.6l engine doing 200km/h i doubt your claim. post the picture of your dashboard. your speed limit should be 180km/h

He may be right, the 2011 Corolla comes with a "turbo-charger" (sth like that, I read in the manual cool ) The car can hit 2000km/h but IMO only when the engine is in good condition, thereafter you'll max at 150 - 160km/h

I understand ur audi emotion, am not the one that brought up the rs6 to the talk. Mere assumption huh, we got t.v's in africa too so dnt make me fill like I have nothing else to do but type assumtions. Watch head 2 head of a 2014 GTR againts a 2014 R8, 0-60 is 2.7 againts 3.2 second.rs3 vs gtr hmmmm, is like taking a knife to a machine gun fight. Around the topgear track that gtr is faster than even an slr mclaren. That's y its a forum every1 has a view and if we dnt all agree with ur audi then the thread losses direction, and wats with the pls dnt mention youtube.

I did 170km/hr on my way to Ibadan in year 2000 along with a friend in a Honda Civic 1998/99 Model. Its surprising that the small car could still remain very stable and smooth at that speed. On our way back to Lagos, we didnt exceed 120km/hr.

There's no turbo model, at least not with a petrol engine. A diesel, more likely.

Juo's Volkswagen Passat B3 is mechanically similar to your Volkswagen Golf III, with a slightly bigger engine, better suspension and a more aerodynamic bodyshell. So speeds of 180 km/h (112 mph) are perfectly achievable without any drama.

I have gotten to the speed limits of a 2006 Toyota 4Runner on a fateful sunday morning from Ikoyi to Oshodi on the 3rd Mainland Bridge. I just decided to see what's up with the Toyota my aunt visited us with. I think the top speed was 180 or 190km/hr & I was surprised the high clearance SUV still handled pretty at that speed! It was the first time I tried above 140km/hr on any vehicle & maybe the last?? I'm not a fan of excessive speed tho

i used to drive pretty fast with my old 1996 Jetta. Although i don't think the speedometer was accurate, but someday a neighbour tried keeping up with me on Mobolaji bank anthony way on a sunday morning...he said i was trying to kill myself, cos his speedometer read 170km/hr....the car was very stable at high speeds. Now i have an 07 Accord, the car seems so light and atimes am not even sure its still running(on), i don't feel as secure as i felt speeding with the Jetta, may be it will grow on me. I also drove my Brother's 06 Altima on 3MB...i was able to do 160km/hr and cud have done more, but my brother begged me to slow down...i think i'll just stick to driving fast in video games

Baba, that accord at just 190km/h is literally worse than an aircraft at take-off, especially on A/C with your windows rolled up.
You just have this light-headed feeling like "mehn!, any small fckup and it's certainly over". grin
Sure, you don't wanna do the Jetta stunts with your new machine.

Between Agbo and Onitsha on the express,i did 190km/Hr with a C230 4cylinder Kompressor Benz. I didn't feel a thing,no vibration,no wind noise,but before this in a 2002 Toyota 4 cylinder Camry along Asaba/Kwale road i did 170Km/Hr and it wasn't a funny experience,the car was vibrating,didn't stay on that speed for too long,the ride didn't exude confidence for me.
