Approx. 245 km/h, on German Auto-Bahn, 4 years ago. It was scary. If anything went wrong, oh well, I guess I would not be posting here now. 1 Like |

df2006: I did 200 in my Honda Accord 2010 v6 evil spirit, on third mainland bridge, was racing with a friend, he was driving a BMW 7series I think an 08 model, his father's, we were on our way to the airport, I really showed the guy, not knowing it was my take off speed dat was better, any where we slowed down, to overtake all those useless danfos, I will just floor it leaving him behind, na God come catch me, open road ahead, my brother I press throttle, speedometer was reading 200, the Beemer passed me like a breeze, what I was just looking at, were his extra large double exhaust of pure invisible v12 smoke, pouring at me, I wondered how fast he was going, I just bidded my time waiting for d next danfo,hard to catch up with a bmw 3series, let alone the 7series...nice one bro |

a.A.K:U r wrong man,...Ilorin-Ogbomoso is a better road 2day dan Abj-Kd road. I do 160-170km/hr on d Abj-Kd rd regularly (d last time was last week Saturday,...made Kd in 1hr 5min from Zuba) in a M/Benz 190 (5-Speed Manual). Am sure I wud go faster on d Ilorin-Ogbomoso rd as it is 2day. Back in d days wen Yauri-Jega (Kebbi state) was gud (2005-2006), I did 170plus (but not up to 180km/h) in a Benz |

Highest I've done is 210km/hr, 2007 Honda Accord on Kano-Kaduna expressway though I regularly do 180-190km/hr on the same road; that road is smooth, uncongested and dualized - very good for "high" speeds, if your car can handle it. Having said that I think it is pertinent to point out that you should understand the car you are driving before attempting any speed in it. Know what the car can or can't do; some cars can't handle a bend unless you slow down while others even accelerate around bends at considerably high speeds. Most importantly, KNOW the road you are speeding on. It's not so much speed as control. Factors like inferior car balance, obstacles, uneven roads, single lane roads all reduce the amount of control you can exercise at higher speeds. I love driving fast and by fast here I mean - faster than most people I've seen, but I quickly become the slowest guy on the road when I encounter potholes and bumps - safety first. Driving at 90 km/hr on the highway doesn't make you a safety-conscious driver; if you have a head-on collision at that speed you are not likely to survive it. If you hit a crossing goat at that speed the goat will die, apart from the damage to your car, but if you pay proper attention on the road you might be able to see the goat soon enough and swerve and/or brake to avoid disaster, regardless of your speed. A lot of people I see on the road are simply absent-minded and careless. They drive without wearing seatbelts, enter the road without checking if there's a car coming from behind, drive smack in the middle of the road (because they don't use rearview or sideview mirrors) and they think they are driving safely simply because they are "crawling" on the road. Tell me: how many okada accidents are due to overspeeding? Have you ever wondered why a Formula 1 racecar, driving at speeds of up to 350km/hr can maintain balance without crashing most times? Even when it does crash the driver rarely suffers more than a few scratches. The simple reason is that the factors of safety have been greatly enhanced in a Formula 1 race. The car, the road the driver all operate within a system of improved safety and control. Bearing that in mind I don't see anything wrong in travelling 200km/hr on a smooth, straight, long and unobstructed stretch of highway - IF your engine can deliver and sustain such power. Lastly, always remember to wear your seatbelt no matter how fast or slow you drive; always pay attention on the road. 6 Likes |

I do between 170-190km/hr on Epe Road, weekends. Regularly. 2011 CRV. |

210km/hr between ogbomoso and ilorin, the new Jebba express way constructed by OBJ. I was driving in my 2006 Audi Quartro. That was the highest I've achieved since driving on Nigerian road. |

@Yungboss I am suprised the slowpoke replied to you in that manner as well. He probably doesnt have an M5, maybe a beat up 5 series with a $10 M badge on it . Cos if the guy has an M5, he would understand what the M badge stands for and realise that a 2013 Toyota can not match even an early E39 M5 2 Likes |

Any speed from 200 above is tantamont to asking for your grave. I may agree to be your passenger if your car has a 280 or over max speedometer. For me sha have driven 160-170 km/h with a Honda Halla, MG Rover 600, Toyota Carina II, on Jos-Bauchi, Gombe-Bauchi, Mayo lope-Jalingo, Wukari-Mutum Biyu roads.had to reduce at a point cos of other Drivers who may become a problem for me on the highway in addition supposing my break fails or i hit a pothole.Gosh it's fun but when i remember how sweet life is, am forced to check myself before i wreck myself. |

SirJohn: Mr moderator, this shouldn't be on the front page; a lot of what I have read is simply suicidal. Driving on Nigerian roads at 160,170,200,220,240Km/H is not worth celebrating at all; at such speeds, you have little or no thinking distance and your stopping distance too is short in the event of an emergency.You just did with the boldened! |

yungboss: Don't mind that guy even if he chose to lie he could have contacted google or wikipedia, People that have owned or driven a BMW will attest to this no Toyota, Honda,Mitsubishi or Nissan both present and future models will ever be able to stand beside a beamer or Benz in terms of performance and durability if not for fuel economy that has endeared these brands to us. I've owned a 95 5 series before and owned two Toyota cars and an Honda after it but nothing compared to a beamer when there's need for performance.A 2010 Camry XLE V6 can only take off faster than an E39(not even M5) but cant sustain it's lead after the first 2 minutes(I say this because I know it) of take off let alone an M5. The guy surely doesn't know what the M stands for. 2 Likes |

Never gone above 120km/h, i consider any speed more than that as unreasonable and unneccesary. |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by yungboss(m): 3:08pm On Jul 25, 2012 |
lucom:well informed post, correct, i hope the dude sees this too...its not because someone just likes to praise bmw, but thats how it is,i.e.,as we have said it and more peeps will say the same thing. Okay, lets even drop the M5, check out this: a '97 e39 540i is faster than the fastest camry to date...5.5s vs 5.8sec to 60mph |
