banky3w: What is uncouth about my response. I made a position on my experience and handling of EOD you came with epistle...if I was uncouth can you point it out bro...I am sorry if I was But the truth is that ..one of the major reasons that drivers die in accident is not knowing the limitations of their cars... It is like racing Honda EOD with C35 AMG or BMW 3 SERIES I bro don't so that...it is like singing ones Requiem or dirge...please don't do that. It is like me trying me trying to use ML 4MATIC to race a McLaren Benz or CLK that is grounded with low clearance ...In a sharp bend.. that also would be suicidal. My dear Honda cars aren't designed for performance but for utility (transportation from point A to B) please don't race BMW, Benz , Fiat even posche or Saab...these are performance cars ! We must always know limitations of our cars to avoid stories that touch later or had I known position If I was uncouth, I no see where I was , but no vez 2 Likes |

shortgun:It is called suspension tuning and setup. It doesn't change the weight of a car at speeds. It does affect how it corners. Corners are not to be taken at excessive speeds. Every vehicle has its limits based o. It's design. But for pure straight line speed, feeling planted doesn't mean shit. Dragsters are the worst handling cars in the world, but they will obliterate any car in a straightline dash and they feel planted. 1 Like |

Eddee: I fell in love the day one parked beside me. Such a great car. Timeless design, 400 HP+, 4.5s to 60mph, wtf. Toss out that air suspension and it's literally the perfect car. |

9icetoo: I have receipts for flooring an 09 Corolla. Didn't feel very light, just surprised RPM was at 6k for only 180 - it braked just fine and I used common sense to brake in and accelerate out of corners. Even my former w211 4matic at 180kph on unstable Nigerian roads will still dance. I just think it's a confidence thing. I drive at speeds of above 160km regularly on my charger and it corners more awfully than a Corolla at the same speed, so na common sense I dey use. 3 Likes |

HeavenlyBang: I have the replacement parts for normal coil overs. Same as the w211 yeah? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:01pm On May 09, 2020 |
Eddee: I think it has to do with the suspension setup, honestly. Like I said, NVH and build quality is also important. A bad suspension setup will bounce more, and you'll start hearing sounds. Luxury cars usually have better NVH too, so less road noise and vibrations. Build quality also influence cabin rattles. When you're going at speed and your car starts bouncing due to suspension issues, plus you start hearing a cacophony of noises, it definitely reduces confidence. 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by 9icetoo(m): 1:20pm On May 09, 2020 |
Eddee:Simple. I guess the charger has more body roll than the corolla or the big engine affects the weight distribution. Simple things yet people make it look so complicated. |

dannybrasky: Big bros abeg no do me dis kind strong thing. You know say pepper no gree rest since this Chinese virus start. 9icetoo: Baba I tire o. Like HeavenlyBang rightly pointed out, most persons on here drive rickety Japs at high speeds and expect stability and balance from worn-out suspension systems. The average German car doesn't tolerate abuse and is likely to be in better shape maintenance-wise than a comparable Jap. The Japs can just about soldier on until they can't, and then they go on some more. The threshold for abuse is very low for a German car and this is a blessing in disguise, because it will mostly likely be in better shape during any face-off on our God forsaken death traps called roads. 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by shortgun(m): 2:50pm On May 09, 2020 |
9icetoo:Suspension,struts, ground clearance, body design, center of mass, aerodynamics e.t.c They are all important determinants of how a vehicle handles in high speeds. Especially breaking and cornering. I believe you have seen accident scenes where vehicles involved veer off the road and end up in a valley, river or heaven Do you think it was the drivers intentions to steer into valleys or a river. 1 Like |
