Danfuster:Even a volkswagen polo is "german". And that makes it handle better than a subaru impreza? |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by Danfuster(m): 9:07pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
9icetoo: You never know...have you driven both before, if yes... What year, model and specs. Let's take it from there. |

Danfuster:Really? Well, you can stay on the German bandwagon. |

ataspray:perhaps u car is in a better shape than the one I drove. It wasn't my car so I don't know even the type of engine oil used in the car. The one I drove is the sport model, could it be what caused the high revs? |

9icetoo: I'm only trying to be reasonable and fair or rather I guess this is what you suggest we compare : 1st Gen subaru "The Subaru Impreza is a compact automobile that has been manufactured since 1992 by Subaru. Subaru introduced the Impreza as a replacement for the Leone, with the Leone's EA series engines replaced by the newer EJ series versions." 1st Gen vw polo "From inception to the latest model, a timeline of the popular Volkswagen Polo. Compact and stylish, the Polo is easily one of the most versatile and popular hatchback models released by Volkswagen. First released in 1975, the VW Polo has undergone at least five facelifts during its lifetime and is currently available in a range of engine sizes and styles." Since you just wanted to compare any subaru impreza and a polo, then I guess this is good enough.

ataspray: Unless the Corolla you drove had a diesel gearbox, you would be doing considerably more than 4000 rpm at the car's maximum speed. 7ou would also have to define what "maxed out" means. What was the maximum speed indication on the speedo dial? For reference, the average gasoline-engined car with a manual gearbox has an engine rpm of 3000 at an indicated 70 mph. 1 Like |

kingreign: apologies bro...that wasn't my intent, I'm just trying to set something straight. For someone jumping to conclusion to tag me a German fan boy who can't argue with verified facts. I'm a car enthusiast, I love this thread and definitely learnt a lot from here. |

Siena:from d picture i posted i had an engine rpm of about 4000 doing approx 170km/h. when i hit 180km/h (maximum indicated speed on the speedo of the corolla) i was still doing slightly less than 5000 rpm. |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by Specialist900(m): 10:38pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
ataspray:true. Same thing I did with my 05 corolla. The rpm was below 4 at 100mph But reading through this, I agree. The second paragraph says otherwise Siena:

I last saw this car in Sweden back in 2010. I believe this car is yet to be beaten, as at 2014, it still held the European record as the fastest steel-bodied, road-legal car. That's 1300hp for you. Make: Audi. Model: 90 Quattro. Model year: 1985. Engine: 2.2 (2226cc) I5 DOHC 20V Turbo. Power: 1300hp. Drive: Permanent AWD with lockable centre and rear differential. Transmission: 5-speed 016 manual gearbox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R3lBFjTIPc |

165 km/hr along Onitsha owerri road. Skoda Octavia 1,9tdi. couldn't go any further and I was a bit disappointed. seems I have issues with diesel filter or my can lobes are worn. performed the lobe wear test and it pulled through the revs easily so should not be that. |
