That's child's play compared to Milliken hills.

I don't think anyone with any car can drive beyond 40km/hr on that hill

You think it's child's play?
I've not mentioned Obudu hills neither have I mentioned Gembu hills.

if una see bend una go fear

or ordinary Concord busstop on the local airport road,make person come there come do 160kph make I dey see

not to take anything away from people that av death wishes tho

You mean you did this on those hills?

KINGreignn:

Doing 180km/h (speed limiter) weaving thru traffic or potholes without touching brake.
Doing over 100km/h around very hard turns without touching brake but skimming on your accelerator pedal while your tyre squeals.

If you did then those hills are not as dangerous as the one I mentioned. I still insist that no one can do above 40km/hr on Milliken hills.

Those roads are hill sides and are hairpins. I didn't do them. But on normal roads which have hard turns I'd do.

keep deceiving yourself racing people who are not and have no interest in racing you and your german scrapbox

this is one of the deluded and careless merzedes or nothing airheads

try not to drive like a maniac, not that we care about you, but for everybody else driving responsibly on the roads

You carried your bitterness enter here.Na wah o

I am with you bro,any parabolica na 150km/h minimum.

see bend for old Enugu road. Reminds me of Seychelles.

Let me find bends on Seychelles, I guess I have videos from that trip .

Sweet road to do moto GP and some other car or bike race.

GAZZUZZ:


ever heard of the 1990 Honda prelude with 4wheel steering?

Jesus Christ, why do u have to draw me out here? 1990 Honda prelude with 4 steering drive (what I used to call it then), rocked Ak city with it those days. Could remember I was going to Ak from Os on a particular day then, and there was this nissan car, white in colour, you could see it was still new competing with us (I wasn't d one who drove on this particular day), the occupants of the nissan car were twin brothers and they were just showing that nissan could outrun the honda prelude till we got to the sharp bend at owena, we got there first, didn't apply brake at all at high speed, we negotiated the bend like nothing happened, I was looking at the nissan guy out of curiosity, he attempted negotiating that bend at the speed he was on, what I saw next was a gory sight. The car rammed into bystanders, I got tovf find out that 5 people died instantly, the twin brothers inclusive. I learned a very big lesson that day, don't ever compare yourself with a fellow being, just know your limit and live within it.

That honda prelude was just too madt of a car.

I use this route all the time and trust me, trying to pull any stunts here is a very good way to kill yourself.

I was wondering why it is easier negotiating bends/corners at high speed with a German machine compared to any other vehicle.

Really? Do you really believe a G Wagon will do better than a Toyota Highlander?.... a Honda Pilot?... an Infinity Q70? ... a Lincoln Navigator?.... a Chevy Surburban?... really?

nurey:


Fallacy of Generalization.

I have navigate bends at 120km/h in a Lincoln Navigator.

It is not a German thing you have not just driven other better cars from other manufacturers. God deliver Nigerian from the shackles of tohyortaa kamury and korola

Have you heard of a TRD Camry?

MonsieurCoq:


Have you heard of a TRD Camry?

Yes of course how many TRD camry are on Nigerian roads?

How many turbo charged 2azfe have you come across?

Cars designed for racing are specially made and engineered not your everyday point A to B car

olumzzz:

What an analogy

But i wouldn't try negotiating bends with an SUV at 120, never will.

you for ask what kind of bend. anybody making a bend at 120 with an suv as a navigator would flip it over.

Hi house,
Guess it's the effect of boredom from this Coronavirus sit at home thingy.

Is it that other manufacturers are just dumb or the technology is beyond them?

Car gurus, your contributions will be appreciated.

Go and try it with your whatever machine on Okene - Abuja Rd if you will not wake up with your two legs hanged up in an orthopedic hospital. Even as flat as F1 is, they still tumble at bends. Endeavour defensive driving always, don't let any craze enter your head o.

My tires screech everytime I enter a ramp and I keep them screeching until I exit the ramp

E.g., the road linking airport road to the road going to Berger in Abuja

Is that too fast to take a bend?

This kind thread self.
It's not a German or Asian thing. It's all about what a manufacturer wants to achieve.
Most BMW cars will out manoeuvre most Mercedes Cars at bends. BMW distribute their weight and tune their suspension to give their cars a sporty feel. Most of then achieve 50/50 weight distribution by having their engines way inside in the engine bay. Audi's are like that too.
That being said, there are Asian cars that will shame the fabled German cars at bends. Mitsubishi lancer evo, Honda prelude (already mentioned), Subaru imrezza (not Asian) to name a few.
It would be foolish to attempt to take bends with a g wagon because it's German. An mdx or fx35 or rx350 will take any bend faster than any g wagon.
It's not about German engineering.
Four wheel drive cars will handle bends better than rear wheel drive cars.
Driving thru a bend at speed requires skill too. Depending on the bend, you either brake into it and accelerate out or blaze through it. Your familiarity with the road will also help.
Even F1 cars humble themselves at bends not to talk of regular run of the mill cars.
My racing (reckless) days are behind me. I'm responding to this shit cos I'm bored.
This whole German herd mentality is becoming annoying really.

Ooin, you're doing well.

Just some more throttle inputs and turn the steering in more and you'd be set to drift.

Why does this sound like all the suicide attempts you people have tried on Nigerians road.
Please people add these words to your vocabulary:
Sport and commuter vehicles
Ferrari builds sport, and Toyota builds commuter.
BMW and Mercedes try to blend luxury sport and commuter in their vehicles.
Don't go hurt yourself on the road due to ignorance

What is not suicidal about making turns at 80-100mph on Nigerian roads.
When people talk about these crazy feats; bogus or not, someone should be responsible enough
to correct the bad impression that can be done in any car otherwise, a new car user will end up dead with other bystanders
and none here will even know how far the implication of such tall stories has gone.

Leave us with our suicidal tendencies, for eve living in Africa is suicidal on its own.

From responses here, i wanna learn how to drift.
I guess that's the best way of maintaining high speed through bends.
Been using the "brake in and accelerate out" as mentioned by 9icetoo but its now boring.

Drive responsibly. Brake in and accelerate out is basic handling, and it's pretty fun. Maybe you need a faster car.

Brake in and blast out is a lot safer. Can't be boring if you are on the edge. If you brake too early, you lose momentum, if you brake too late, you end up in the bush or somewhere undesirable.
Drifting is borderline loss of control. On a highway with unexpected potholes and oncoming vehicles, that's banging on the grim reapers door.
