Outside Germany, it's only legal to drive up to 120km/h. So who cares if the car can go faster?

Good acceleration can be handy, e.g. for merging in the highway, but its usefulness is at best situational.

Why do you care about "speed" when driving a car? All cars are allowed a maximum speed of 120km/h.

>>28498864 (OP)
It's just a oy vey trick to drive up insurance prices and make small dicked arab kids think they're cool. You geniunely don't need to go above 150 HP in most situations, and a peak speed of 150 km/h is more than enough for most people, so is 0-100 in 10 seconds.

There are other factors that are so much more important, such as comfort and steering precision, but car reviewers are too stupid to talk about those things.

>>28498864 (OP)
most of the time it's acceleration instead of speed they are talking about

>>28498881
Even if you merge in the highway every day, how many times is a 'fast acceleration' useful?
"Fast cars" are a meme, and if you care about your car going fast, you are a faggot.

That's what race tracks are for dumbass look they even let shitboxes participate.

>>28498891
No one goes to a race track.

>>28498893
yes they do

>>28498895
>most people buy fast cars to go to the racetrack
Growing up, an elementary school teacher told me Americans are so dumb they believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows, and normal milk from white ones. She was probably right.

>>28498899
Yes they do unless they're a fake fan haha.

They let anyone go to a track it's gonna be so cool when I take my Camry there. Broom Broom!

>>28498887
good acceleration is safer because it gives you more control over your vehicle. If you're merging and have to ensure you're out of the way of something unforeseeable, then you must accelerate more quickly than you expected. Very easy issue.

Retard

>>28498910
This is why having a bike smaller than 500cc can be dangerous on the highway, cuz you have less bandwidth to be able to accelerate out of/away from trouble.

>>28498864 (OP)
>So who cares if the car can go faster?
I care because i frequently and deliberately drive well over the speed limit because i enjoy doing so

>>28498980
Thank you for your organ donation!

>>28498910
You can merge just fine without high acceleration.

Wow, apparently we rent to all of Europe.

Anyways, Brown Swiss cows are awesome because they're not prone to the health issues that a traditional Holstein has.
Drawback is, they just make less milk so they're not as profitable

They cant even imagine that free people exist and those people choose of their own free will to exceed the arbitrary number that some lobbyists and do-gooders wrote into some regulation somewhere.

And here's the kike.

my arbitrary performance tier list

the only realistic improvements i could make in comparing performance is top speeds and lap times, but both of those are hard to find.
i consider F tier cars too slow, and tier ABC is usually more about considering price and reliability because they are all fast enough for my skill level.
tier D is the expendable commuter econobox tier that at least doesnt feel unfun to drive every day for 2 hours.

See? Just some mindbroken NPC that’s never had an original thought of his own. You can tell because he changes the subject, doesn’t address anything and drags in unrelated topics.

Slow cars wont exist anymore when acceleration gets fixed by EV's producing retarded amounts of instant accel. For normies this would be the ultimate comfort and speed. This is the true redpill.

>>28498887
You obviously never drive in places where people are retarded and drive at wildly different speeds. Merging when the person in front of you is 20-30MPH lower than the surrounding traffic is way safer when you can gun it around them and not cause someone to have to hit their brakes.

>>28499032
V6 Camry from a few years ago hits 300 HP. Pretty powerful for a midsize sedan.

>>28500852
It's way more than FWD can handle at lower speeds, pretty sure it has some torque-limiting programming.

>>28498864 (OP)
usually torque and gearing mismatch. my favourite is the late 90s and early 2000s phenomena of us domestics trying to make smaller engines feel more sporty with a looser converter instead of shorter gears. you'll be going up a hill and it will unlock the converter and you suddenly have to give it 50% more throttle to go the same speed. those cars drive like shit and eat gas (colorado, impala, f250, anything with a 2.7)

>>28498864 (OP)
people speed all the time, id even reckon its normal. i mean this is a car enthusiast forum. i sort of doubt there are no people here who understand what it takes to get away with generally spirited driving. this may be a good example of lurk moar

Nobody follows speed limits As long as drivers licenses are handed out like candy to people they never will follow the posted signlimits

>>28498864 (OP)
Some american cars of the 55 mph era could not make it up to 120kph/80mph. Many of them were well-built enough (at least the ones built tuesday through thursday) that there's a fair number if surviving daily-able examples. So by your definition, I suppose those are slow cars.

>>28501005
my abs/traction control sometimes kicks in but i think it's just because the tyres are getting old. i need to find a set of 16 inch steelies to replace the 19s. 65 profile tyres would be very comfy

>>28503960
No, I meant in the ECU. I have only one pure FWD turbo shitbox, and it's limited in first two gears with just 210 hp from the factory on 225 mm wide tires. People who tinker with their ECUs say it's not a good idea to remove the limit completely because of too much wheel spin and torque steering. Without limiting FWD shitboxes become less comfy to drive, and most manufacturers avoid that even at the cost of slower 0-60 numbers.

>>28501195
>As long as drivers licenses are handed out like candy
And in Germoney making the driver license is 5000 euros and takes half a year.

Oh no, not an arbitary number put on a metal pole by some "expert"

>>28498864 (OP)
For a safe overtake via opposite lane you need AT LEAST 120 when everyone's going 95 or less. So if your car is packed and it can't speed up enough it's dangerous for everyone, consider also basic yielded turns out on a packed highway.

>>28498953
This is bullshit. I ride my tu250x on the highway all the time and I've never had to accelerate out of the way of something. The most I'll say is that there are highways which are sparsely populated and fast enough that putting along by yourself at 70 will be dangerous because other cars come flying past you at 90+, but in any highway with even moderate traffic there will always be a granny lane to nestle into

so i can swerve around, then in front of some cunt being a cunt and backfire my car at them so they know they're a cunt
