Mileage?

[Tuesday Tonic]

I heard having more miles accelerates your car faster. I don't see a difference with my 13,200+ mile S7 TT with one that has 1000 miles. ( Of course they're tuned. )

 

Is this true?

It's more than likely just a rumour started by someone, or because someone beat someone else who had the same car but lower mileage.

 

I highly doubt that this is or could be true.

No, i think someones mucking about when they told you this, did you here about it down the drag strip by any chance??

 

The only thing high mileage cars do is fetch more money on trade (well they used to not sure about now) as people like to have cars with higher mileages on them.

Yes I heard it @ the drag strip. :]

A bit of advice, take what you hear at the strip with a pinch of salt ;)

 

Alot of what is said there is not true and mainly rumours ;)

Its said that the high mileage means you drive it a lot and hence you get used to the car and you are generally better at handling it. Thus your control over the car's much better and hence probably better at getting a higher top speed

I see why you would say that and might be plausible.

Yes you must be careful around the drap strip. It's probably best that if you hear anything at all about performance enhancing secrets, it would be best to ask whether or not they are true here. This is where you are most likely to get the most truthful information about the game.

 

P.S. take a look at my "Stripper Stories" thread in the "Test Drive Unlimited General" section. It will tell you some of the things not to believe, and give you a good laugh too lol

Funny I could of swore Hennessey and I told you on about 10 seperate occasions that mileage does nothing to the speed of your car. Anyway hopefully you should be satisfied now.

Surely this can't be true, but here's my thought...

 

When my car gets to 3500 miles, shouldn't it need an oil change?

Likewise, when it's around 100,000 miles, shouldn't it need a new tranny? It is interesting to note the lack of maintenance on all of these seemingly too-well-built automobiles floating around Hawai'i.

Mileage = Higher Speed? No. Never. Nada.

i think people say that because they are more use to the car
