What top speed you ever driven outside S'pore safely ?

[Albeniz]

140km/h - Nissan Presea,

80mph or 130km/h - Nissan Altima.

 

Limited not by the car, but the driver.

Seems like you understand "speed" a lot better than a lot of us.

During my UK days, McLaren came to witness our projects on engine speed.

Mclaren director offer anyone who has knowledge to improve F1 car before.

What a waste did not sign up then.

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).

 

2 door Chevy, Cobalt?
