My time only M113. Sit on top chiong down hill very shiok like roller coaster.

 

 

U forgotten the drill. I always use my guiding stick to hit driver head hard. I mean real hard. Standing in the VC compartment without SBO [lipsrsealed] can shrink hor.

Go down slope is achievable [;)] Can be faster even

 

Don't dare to try, never been very good at cycling, due to 1 freak accident during my teens which left quite a large scar on my foot :wacko:

I am thankful I am not a fan of high speed. Need too much concentration, & small mistake, & thats it.

 

& some of the guys here are pushing over 160km/h in B&B cars, many without even traction control, & not mean to be driven at suich speed.

Clutched

Outside Singapore - 170kph (105mph) on a wide empty highway travelling from Virginia to Pennsylvania. In a Chevrolet small two door hire car (can't remember the model). The highway was dead straight, three or four lanes, downhill stretch coming down through the mountains, with no other cars in sight. The car was not unstable at all but took some time to build up given the small engine size. Did not take it further as too dangerous for small car and risk of getting attention from highway patrol. Also running out of straight "runway" ahead. I would imagine a big modern car could easily do well in excess of 200kph on this stretch.

 

Singapore - 140kph in my old Picanto. Stability no problem (I have wider tyres) but engine doesn't want to go higher than this even though I am pushing it. Singapore not really conducive to high speed as limited wide open straight stretches and congestion (even late at night taxis or other cars can come out of nowhere).
