Hi TAIgers,
This is not to compare a Cars head-head or drivers capabilities. But most of the time after we complete a long drive, being petrol heads, we tend to talk about cars which gave us a tough time on the highways, or zoomed past us. Or sometimes, we might even notice certain cars Taking curves at higher speeds without much body roll. Or accelerating effortlessly without much effort from the driver (as it seems). There might be stories, where few drivers over take and then slow down for no reason , and do it over and over again. Which is sometimes annoying, but adds up to the fun.
My Story :
In 2008 ish time, i used to drive SX4 petrol , it used to go well in about 110 kmph comfortably. I used to maintains a steady speed around 110 - 120 in free roads. I used to see Swifts/Dzires (D) going past me most of the time on the Highways. The other car which made me look like a Joke was the car with which i fell in Love.(Octavia 160s most of the time, almost everyone, that too in the south chennai-kanyakumari). Last year(1012-1013), excluding cars >30 L (Audi,BMW....) , i see Vento's , Rapid's being very quick on the highways. Laura's/ Jetta's in very rare case speed . I have also seen i20/Civic doing high speeds and zooming past me, but they most of the time slow down to very low speed at curves.
These are all just My point of view and what i see in Chennai -Kanyakumari Highway. I would love to hear all your stories.
