Humpty Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I have an old four wheel drive Nissan 4 cylinder diesel ute which has a top speed of about 130 kph with a tail wind. Wife has a VY V6 Holden Commodore which can supposedly crack around the 200 kph mark. What vehicle/top speed do you own/have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigathus Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi Humpty I definitely don't! have the fastest. Like you, I have a diesel 4x4 with a top speed of about 110kph going down hill with a strong tailwind...lol http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted November 3, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2007 Mazda 6, 2litre 5 door. Top speed in the region of 130mph, with a 6 speed gearbox. Pretty quick off the mark too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted November 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2007 btw..Hyundai is quality now... not like their older ones. Exactly, they're becoming an exciting car manufacturer to watch and I do like the Sonata and Azera. The Tiburon ("a.k.a. Hyundai Coup?") would be alright if only they'd re-design it because it looks very dated at the frontend and put more engine power into it making the V6 obsolete via forced induction in the 4 cylinder model, i.e.; supercharger, or turbo.

1984 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 my first car was a 77 transam with a 454 in it. my next vehicle was a 70 volkswagon westfalia camper van. like driving a toaster with a hamster on a wheel in it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskifreak Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 You drive the Volvo to school. Bet you're popular with the ladies. I used to "drive" my bike. Haha...I go to an all guys Catholic high school...not many ladies to impress. Our sister school is a few miles down the road. Exactly, they're becoming an exciting car manufacturer to watch and I do like the Sonata and Azera. The Tiburon ("a.k.a. Hyundai Coup?") would be alright if only they'd re-design it because it looks very dated at the front end and put more engine power into it making the V6 obsolete via forced induction in the 4 cylinder model, i.e.; supercharger, or turbo. We got our uncle to buy a used Sonata, and my grandparents to buy an Elanta sedan. I want a Tiburon badly..why? NewTiburon.com I found that website and was really impressed with what their members have done. I'm interested in which year you are talking about in calling the front end dated.

craigathus Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 OK heres a twist on the subject, thanks to 1984 my first car was a 77 transam with a 454 in it. My first car was a Mazda RX3 sedan, with a fully worked (Peripheral Ported) RX7 Rotary engine & gearbox with a top speed of over 130MPH, thats what the speedometer went up to. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Get a horse theme painted on the Harley Davidson, and you're good to go. lol...actually she wasnt kidding. my parents live about a five minute drive from us just outside the city, and they have 50 acres of land with cattle barns, electric waterers, bailers, etc. that arent being used (my dad used to have a few dozen cows on his hobby farm). the only problem with a horse is I know that I would have to go feed it, and im worried my kids and wife will gang up on me and we will end up getting one! they are actually quite cheap to buy..

JAGO Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I currently drive a 1990 Toyota DX . The four-banger inside isn't very peppy, but the car is mechanically sound (for the most part) and that's all I'm worried about. Currently looking at a Honda Fit or a Toyota Yaris.

LuLu Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I drive mom's '01 Dodge Caravan. I think top speed is 125mph, but I could be wrong. Doesn't matter much anyhow because I'm not allowed to find out fast she'll go. For the average drive though, when the AC is off it's pretty quick for a 4cyl, but when the AC is on, forget it - a snail can go faster. lol I like to go fast. I need a Mustang... I'm here. What are your other two wishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as to not put both feet into my mouth (known to do that sometimes) I was actually referring to their current commercial offering on their website, as seen here.
