accumulated speed and terminal speed

as my mate says he has had 150mph out a standard 172 clio

 

clock speed is well different to REAL speed

hes talking pollocks

 

whats a 172 clio ive heard of 16vs and willams but not a 172 ?

 

nice touch

Arn't they 172 cup? maybe completely made that up

There is a new clio sport outside work, looks rather nice, in blue, 2.0 16v

 

 

its a clip cup 172 basically new versiopn of the clio williams lol 2ltr n that

so come on whats the diffrence between accumulated speed and terminal as i said thats bollocks and he said am talking terminal speed not accumualted speed even though i aint a clue what the diffrence is

 

@ itsmeagain

 

I am not clued up, but got this from google


Sorry, can't find n e thing on accumulated

 

so terminal speed is just the engine cant push it any further??

 

o..........k no nearer then as i don't understand that lmao

 

Fuck knows mate, neither do i Like I said just quickly googled it

 

lol cheers fella

no idea bough it all though lol

 

btt

 

Terminal speed is the maximum that it has reached and can go no faster

Accumulate is just a verb that means to gather or collect so if you accumulate speed then you build it up

 

cheers keith

 

 

nice sig keith, shame you missed the `K` out of block

 

terminal speed in cars usualy means speed over a set distance, ie 1/4mile or whatever, dont tell me the clio did 150mph terminals

 

i think the whole accumulated vs terminal argument is something he's MADE UP

he's using words completely out of contect that have no relevance whatsoever

top speed is top speed, end of.

if the guy seriously thinks he was doing 150mph then he needs his head examining

what you need to do is take off the 10% bullshit factor and take off the 10% (minimum) crappy speedo factor...

what youi're then left with is 120mph...

thats probably the REAL speed he was travelling

ps if i went by clock speeds, i could say my saff does 160mph

 

accumulated? what like i did 40mph to work this morning,45 to lunch,45 back to work then 40 back home after work,so today my 1 litre yaris did an accumul;ated speed of 170mph!sweet,no brunters or gps required beat that!

 

The Renault Clio 172 was about before the Renault Clio 172 Cup.

It is a 2.0L Clio that pumps out 172 BHP!! Clever eh!!!

The Cup version loses all the extras and becomes lighter, cheaper and quicker.

I have driven a 172 (Not the Cup version) there was 4 of us in the car and the clock was showing 140+ MPH and was still pulling, what the actual speed of the car was at that time is anyone's guess, probably around 120MPH!

Your mate definitely could've seen 150MPH on the speedo of his 172, but I very much doubt his car could actually manage to do a TRUE 150MPH.

 

Mate has a 172 Cup (brought for his missus but he's quite keen on playing with it) He's had it flat out at 145mph on the clocks and it wouldn't go a jot faster 2 up. Take off a minimum of 10% for the innacurate sppedo and he'd be looking at just over 130mph which would seem reasonable to me.

150mph he is in cloud Max Power land with all the Saxo West Coast drivers
