Wat is the standered horse power of a volvo 440 turbo 1989?
I'll answer this question from firsthand experience only.
I drive a 2000 E46 328i, before I tuned it, my speed record was 147 miles an hour. I live in Michigan; I did it on country roads. That is really fast, but not that fast. My 328i gets about 200 lbs/ft of Torque and just shy of 200 bhp at 4900 RPMs. This means I generally don’t even move into 5th gear until about 100mph. I'm still in 3rd at about 80, pretty easily. Now compare that to a Civic. You just cannot.
I am looking for a custom grill for my 2003 dodge stratus .Can you find me one?
BMWs are designed to be driven on the Autobahn. I was outside Essen last month on the Autobahn in a late 1990s 7-Series, a big, hulking car. I was cruising, cruising mind you, at 138 mph and it wasn't even difficult. I was in the left lane passing the car in front of me and about a mile behind me was a Red Porsche, the lady flasher her lights and literally in seconds, she was directly behind me, telling me I needed to get into the right lane. She seriously, blew my doors off. Passed with blinding speed. That just goes to show the speed capabilities of German Cars, I do not think that Japanese cars are capable of that speed. It was a Boxster, a base model Porsche.
Does the 2004 Mustang Convertible (rag top) come with.?
German cars are set up for speed, the suspension is far better than the Japanese cars that are built for comfort, versus BMWs are designed to be driven and fast. If you look at the Aerodynamics of a BMW versus a Honda, its blatantly apparent. BMW's high compression Inline 6 engines are designed to have maximum power at high speeds, this is really important because of where they are driven. Hondas get their maximum torque and power at significantly lower RPMs, wheras BMW and Porsche are very high up there.
Who Likes the 2007 Nissan Altima?
You also have to remember that many Japanese cars are designed to be tuned or fit with a Turbo, BMWs achieve better performance with Naturally Aspirated engines, it just isn't fair.
Now that BMW is fitting Turbochargers to their cars I really don't see how Japanese cars can continue to compete. The E92 335i had to be de-tuned to make it tame enough to be driven by a regular person. The Turbos are about 5" inches square, which is very small as Turbos go. The potential of BMW far exceeds that of the Japanese counterparts.
What shocks for a 95 monte carlo?
BMWs are far more stable, faster and have more power available at high speeds. While tuning a car would bring it close to performance to a BMW, the capability to exceed just isn't there. BMWs are reliable and just generally superior to Japanese cars.
How do you change the fuel filter on a 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
BMW is better at accelerating. Holy cow, my civic cannot go up the hill whatsoever.I need to locate the MAF sensor on my 2000 VW Bug?
NOI have a pontiac sunfire se what does the se stand for?
Quality on both are pretty high! The BMW is known for acceleration. Since your limited by law, acceleration is then more important. On that same note, it is known for high repair costs. After working on my Acura legend, I have to admit, Honda's are built very smart. Generally accessing things are easier, parts are more common and cheaper. For example, the half shaft on a honda is removed with less other parts taken off to change the axle.Does anyone know where I can rent a 4X4 Jeep Wrangler?
REALLY HONDA IS VERY VERY BETTER THAN BMW OR NISSAN ON INDIAN ROADS.FURTHER HONDA DOESN'T NEED MUCH MAINTENANCE AS THOSE OF THE OTHERS.Are there any cars that cost about $400?
Please. the only Honda that can compete with even a base model BMW is an S2000. Even modified Civics can't. I know- I drive circles around them all the time in my 330ci. Wheeee!Durango 06 w/ 4.7L superships?
You ask this question as if each manufacturer only builds one car. As far as similar sizes of car, the BMW will probably usually be faster. As far as price is concerned, the Honda is a hell of a lot faster for the price.Whats the break in period of 2007 civic? kms?
I like the one that is bragging about her 330ci. That's funny...I've seen Civics that would eat a stock 330 without thinking twice. And a stock Accord V6 would slaughter it.
How much money would it take to fix a power steering fluid leak in a 1992 bmw 325 i?
Honda is far more reliable than BMW. No one ever accused BMW of being particularly reliable, and WOW are they expensive to repair once they do break down.
I have a ford f-150 4wd with a v-8 triton motor i need to knoe how much horsepower does it have-?
BMW's are not built to excel in drag races. They are a driver's car, which does everything well. Japanese makers have built a reputation on building tech filled dependable autos for a fairly significantly lower price then its European counterparts.In my opinion, Japanese cars do not have style. Their styling is conservative, and are targeted for a specific demographics. BMW's are driving machines. They are made for triple digit speeds, and are rock solid once they get there.
To the person that made a comment about a stock civic doing circles around a 330...you mean in a parking lot while there is no driver present in the BMW right? You get what you pay for.
Is there any iformation on 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Access cab V6 automatic truck?
It's interesting that the Japanese are notorious for slightly exaggerating their horsepower levels, where as the Europeans use more conservative numbers. 200 horses in an import may equal out to 200 horses in a European car on paper, but the road feel is completely different. Also keep in mind that your making an apples to oranges comparison. How can you possibly compare an economy car to an entry level luxury car?
Each person has their own preference, and each country makes great cars, but at "speed" BMW's are clearly superior. The Germans have the autobahn which cater to cars that travel in excess of 120mph...have you been in a Honda at that speed? Driver confidence is almost non-existent as the entire chassis feels like it's being exerted beyond it's engineered boundaries.
What is the fuel consumption of Toyota Hiace?
Honda will probably last longer. The problem with a speciality car is if you have problems with them, it takes a lot more money to fix it. A BMW is by far faster, but the nice thing about a Honda is you can do a lot of after market stuff to it.Jeep Wrangler, automatic or standard tranny?
ferret you just make things up; a civic or accord v6 can't just easily out run a stock 330ci unless the honda is heavily modified. just look at the stock spec: civic - 160 horses, accord - 200 + horses, 330ci - 235 horses. 330ci 0 - 60 around 5.8 seconds (manual) and these hondas around mid 6's to mid 7's. you tell me how they would eat a stock 330ci without thinking twice?? i've seen mod 330ci that can eat a porsche turbo alive any day, any time and you better believe it, dude.When did SVT Cobra Mustangs go to independent rear suspension?
BMWs are all around much better quality than a Honda. Generally, bmws are better looking, higher class, faster, and a blast to drive.More Questions & Answers ...
