speed thrills but may kill you... If you must speed, please make sure it is a Benz 190. At 180 km/hr, you won't feel as if you are speeding. Port harcourt to Uyo with an interview that will start by 7,30am. Left 6am and was there 6,20am. USually a 2hrs journey. |

My fastest speed was in 2008 on A81 between Singen and Stuttgart. I was speeding 230km/h, car was a Münchener 335 (BMW 2008 model) I leased that car from Eurocar; was on way from Zurich, Switzerland. If you've ever driven a car on German Autobahn, you know that it's where speed freaks show their muscles.Once I saw a Porsche GT doing about 300km/h on A8. Whoever is comparing BMW M (Münchener) series to any Japanese models on Nigerian roads doesn't know much about cars. 3 Likes |

Ibotex: Imagine driving in a governors convoy with a landcruiser prado jeep. 220 and above. Those convoys(govt functionaries, bullion vans) rarely drive what you would call fast. They just swerve and weave dangerously and recklessly @ 120km/hr. That ain't fast, just plain reckless and suicidal. 2 Likes |

I have done 200km/hour with a Benz E- 230 (1984 regular),on Benin Auchi road in 2001,1 wanted to see if the car can get to the maximum speed, and it did. I had to get four brand new tyres before attempting this stunt. It was my first and most rugged car. |

dreday: Its not dat u can't make it upto 175km/hr or more wif japanese cars. All I'm trying 2 say,is dat any slightest swerve,ur life will neva remain d same again,dats if u still have one. But if u've driven high speeds in a european car,u will know wot I'm talking abt. I don't need 2 start saying wot km/hr I've hit on wot cars. I drove a friend's 2008 acura MDX SH AWD lately,D stability @95m/hr wasn't impressive. Rite from 2003,I bought my 1st car uptil now,I've neva used & will neva use a japanese car. So bruv,I know wot I'm saying...... I know,wot handling & stability is,cuz dat matters if ur a runner. |

The day was Feb 14, 2011---180km/h along Enugu-Portharcourt Expressway in my VW Golf Mk 3. I would have hit the 220 maximum speed but teh entire car had started to vibrate relentlessly...omo, fear catsh me. |

The Year: 1991 The road: E34 Eindhoven to Duisburg The car: BMW 750iL Speed: 235 km/h That ride was so solid, it was as if we were doing 80km/h. The speed was only apparent when you looked at all the other cars as we zipped past. If you have to go fast, do it in a solid German tank. At some point in the near future, I shall be taking my 500SE to the Nurburgring to test its limits. 2 Likes |

[color=#000099][/color] i understand that most cars have their limit and i don't exceed such limits. what i refer to as speed limit is that speed at which the car begins to vibrate excessively. my first car, a toyota corolla 1990 will take me as fast as 140 kmph comfortably without the unnecessary vibrations. the second car i got, a golf mk 3 makes 160 kmph which has become my regular speed but the fastest i'd driven is 120 mph which is about 200 kmph on kaduna to abuja highway with my benz E430 2000 model. i was driving with two friends that didnt know much about cars so i told them we were moving at 120 kmph but they later realised it was a lie when we arrived zuba in one hour from kaduna. the whole trip which was kano to abuja was 3 hours 15 minutes. 1 Like |

195 km/h with my 1998 golf 3 GTI (two door).. I was even going to speed up to about 200km/h but all my friends in the car were like don't kill us here. It was on Lagos-Abeokuta express way on a trip from Egba to Sango...I wish i could have put that ride in the plane and bring it here with me. I can't wait to get back home to my lovely ride. |
Re: Fastest Speed You Have Ever Driven: Car, Place, Time? by Nobody: 9:22pm On Jul 25, 2012 |
one thing i like naija 4 is that theres nothing like speeding ticket, unless u want one. I clicked a memorable 230 in a mercedes benz v- boot along owerri onitsha express high way, thanks to julius berger and trust me guys, the v-ass has got a great balance. One thing id really love to do is drift bt i havent found any good curvy road yet. |

280 km/hr toyota supra benin express 2003.that car was a jet, but we tumbled before benin.Came out with my friend unscratched.the next day when my dad came from ph, he said “hey man, even michael schumacker would not speed like that.they have custom roads for their races". Leant my lesson and To GOD B THE GLORY! |

madprof: 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.. Bros. U hit the nail on the head Jor. 4 Likes |

I always travel with my mum and my highest was 205km/hr or there about in a 2000 model toyota avalon on kaduna-abuja road.... My mum wouldn't let me go beyond that. I usually do 180km/hr though. |

Guys, I thank God for my life. I have taken several risks on d highway. I look back at that today and I thank God. I can NEVER EVER try that again. 1st Dec 2001 1990 tuned-up Honday Civic with F1 injection system. Car max speed - 200km/h. Trip - Lagos - Owerri I left Lagos 6am got to asaba 9:45 Pushed the car to d max 200km/h on AC and glass wound up. That sure was a death wish. That wasn't all. Dec 2003 1993 Mercedes Benz E200 sealed engine Max speed 220km/h Trip: Lagos to Owerri Pushed the car to d 210km/h on AC with windows wound up. Did same in 2004, 2005. In 2007, with 03 American Spec BMW 320i full options Max speed 220km/h Trip: Asaba - Lagos Clocked 200km/h I ĺ♡√Ɛ to speed till I cautioned myself in 2008 after I narrowly escaped a crash. Ever since 2008, the max speed I have achieved in 160km/h when a golf 3 wanted to test my 95 E320 American spec last year on the Benin bypass. Speed kills guys. These days I don't even bother to chase. I maintain a 120km/h max. |

Guess who i was racing with? 2011 Hyundai Elantra and a Range Supercharged just strolled past us like it was nothing ![]() ![]() ![]() |
