AutoJoshNG:Lol... Good write-up overall, but too much oversabi sometimes could have consequences. To correct this one, Jeep isn't just a car brand as you think, you may be surprised to note that the word 'jeep' is also an alternative name for SUVs. cc: veekid, xjiggy 4 Likes 1 Share

Dottore: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. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Dottore:What is worth noting is the spelling: Jeep (brand name) is spelt with a capital "J", while jeep (generic name) is spelt with lowercase "j". |

Chiefpriest1:yes oo. The difference be acceleration. While ur 2000 Toyota take 8-11 sec to reach 80km, the Range 2012 go take like 5-6 sec. Once both reach 80km, dem no fit overtake each other. That's why u sometimes see Golf 4 dey over take Range because the driver decide to keep to certain speed 3 Likes |

DollarAngel: 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. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Dottore: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 |

DollarAngel:Answer is NO. We are talking about speed not force, waht you said up there would be true of force,what it could pull.for you to understand this concept you have to go back to physics, the very definition os speed. Ordinary definition of speed: the rate at which someone or something moves or operates or is able to move or operate Engineering definition of speed: The speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity or the rate of change of its position. 2 Likes |

zanga420:1km/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. 4 Likes |

OlujobaSamuel:I'm not an auto guru but does what you're saying apply in all situations. Eg a new car and an old car? For instance a friend once said he was embarrassed to change car when his vehicle on 120/140km/h was constantly lagging behind a Honda EoD in a journey. Don't tell me the EoD is doing 160km/h. I doubt how a new car and an old car can perform on same speed. Can a toyota corrolla on 80km/h match a Bugatti/Ferrari on 80km/h? |

DollarAngel: Why are you confusing yourself with your gross ignorance that the OP has already explained? Kilometres is Kilometres everywhere on earth. It is simply a unit of measurement for distance. You can only have faulty speedometers in some cars that give you wrong values, but it doesn't mean one kilometre covered by car A is different from one kilometre covered by car B. 7 Likes |
