Shull Turbocharged October 31, 2013 Share October 31, 2013 (edited) We can do a similar "dua bao run"aka "big canon".. Tuas to Changi in 10 minutes.. AYE-ECP is 41km, to finish in 10 mins, you need to average 240km/h.. Edited October 31, 2013 by Shull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aventador 6th Gear November 1, 2013 Share November 1, 2013 When was younger, drove from KL to Singapore , from Sungei Besi Toll to Malaysia Customs 2nd Link in 1 hour 25 minutes A friend did it in 1 hr 15 mins don't think these times are achievable now with the much heavier traffic on the NS highway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekdays after 10pm, NSHW is quite free of traffic.. I did once from Melaka toll to 2nd Link in about 1.5hours. Averaging about 160km/h.. I could go faster cos there was virtually no traffic, but it's late at night and not wise to go too fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently did 2hr hours flat including smoke and pee break at Ayer Keroh, from JB immigration exit to Sungai Besi toll. Left at 5am arrived at 7am on a weekday so there was morning traffic after seremban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged November 1, 2013 Share November 1, 2013 The equivalent Cannonball Run here should be from SG to Bangkok. Anyone game for it??? 2813miles for Cannonball. convert to km = 4527km Roughly the distance from Singapore to Bhutan (next to Nepal), I rather make a shorter drive to Guangzhuo/Shenzhen and spend some nights at Chiang Ping to hit the same mileage ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
