A subaru is a poor man's ferrari

Any Buick owners in KE?

@jagger. . Never? Even when driving to Msa/Naks/Namanga etc? How do you overtake especially on Msa rd at speeds below 110km/h?



@ZILLION, If top speed for Forester XT SG5 is 180km/h and that of Mark X 25G is 220km/h, how will Mark X not keep up?

Will it not be a case of the Forester trying to keep up? Once the Forester hits 180km/h, what else?

Or is it that a Mark X doing 200km/h and Forester doing 180km/h, the Forester isstill "faster"?
.

I saw one Mark X with max speed of over 200km/h, i don't know which model. That's why is asked in an earlier post, the max speed of the two cars.
Anyone in the know [Mark X 2500cc max speed] can shed more light.

Your husband must be on wazua....who is he?

@murchr, If one is driving the Mark X with max speed of 200km/h and another person is driving a Forester whose max speed is 180km/h,which of the two needs "keeping" up?

When MS was with Ferrari,all other car constructors took second spot. Come Vettel and Infiniti [Redbull Team] becomes the new king.

At some level, its more about the driver than the car.

The top speed is generally a fallacy and may not be practical on our roads, car speeds are measured by their ability to accelerate i.e time it takes to move from 0-60 KPH. Thats why you see all those prado's outpacing the much talked about Subs etc. Therefore, a car with a maximum speed of 180 KPH will outpace its counterpart that has maximum 200KPH coz of acceleration.

I agree.. cant compare

@Obi, What you've said is true to the extend of urban drive ,a short distance and a road with a lot of acceleration and deccelaration situations. In such a case,the car with better accelaration takes the crown.

However, if you are driving from Nai to Namanga/Msa/Eld,the car with higher max speed takes it.

From experience,i've been left biting dust 7 times. I would think am fast driver [please note;not the fastest], speeds of above 165km/h for long hauls.

On one such occassion,from Namanga doing between 170-180km/h, i was overtaken by a Land Cruiser Vx and it disappeared. Even at 180km/h, the Vx kept stretching away at alarming rate.

@Obi,I believe the Vx was doing over 220km/h and my max speed was 180km/h.
Do you still believe max speed is still a fallacy?

@Mkeiyd. you didn't metion what you drive, but lets all agree that a VX is out of this world in terms of speed, performance, balance consumption etc. It will outperform most of the cars on the roads.
