How fast is fast?

slacker001 SG

sorry if this is a stupid qn, but how fast is considered fast around bends? my friend says he can go ard roads like south buona vista rd and rifle range at ard 70 to 80 in his lancer and he says that’s nothing compared to what gd drivers in 4wd cars can do. since this forum got some ppl with tiong cars or racing experience, any idea?

Guys, know the road near the kent ridge park (NUS), the series of turns and curves. Called something like "99"? At what speed you move along that road? The first and only time I went there, I was tailgated by a Honda, doing 50-60km. Already quite scary. The one in front smoked me.

How fast can you go?

my dad once driving in the north south highway.. 160km++ power.. somemore doing it on a old accord..i tink early 90s accord.. haha.. in order to achieve tt need to tail other car infront closely.. force them to siam.. haha.. though abit ah beng but my dad say is better.. then ppl doing tt to us and make us siam.. haha.. but if malaysian driver especially their youngster.. better don try them.. anyway they r alway speeding 1 la.. so following behind them would be gd.. let them do the work..

Did travel on the ECP at 140KM... but was overtaken on the right by an E200 as well... hmmm... cant go any faster... my steering wheel was already shaking Laughing

Lord Kang SG

go 70 to 80 on rifle range rd..Right.....So many blind spots and the bends are quite sharp..Behind the curve usually is a downslope..I don't dare to go too fast over there leh..

The fastest I ever go was 130 on SLE...

I was doing 80-90 there and taking each turn pretty ok until about 4 turns from the end when i panicked and braked....think my skid marks still there. Thankfully it was around one plus am on a weeknight so no cars around

In retrospect, pretty dumb thing to do though Embarassed

houndy SG

possible to do 80-90 at south bouna vista… maybe my car got a low CG… the uphill is much easier than the downhill from what i see…

180kmh on PIE... Twisted Evil

houndy SG

hahaha.... Laughing

Now that road speed limit only 40km. I wonder would they put speed camera there?

As for expressway speed, I guess even 200km seem nothing. Just a matter of guts and car. We are more interested in cornering speed.

70-80km/h on mt faber downhill roads consider fast or slow?

When TPs start taking photos of your beautiful car and flash their lights in support. That is when you are considered fast.

Ask your friend to go Sepang or PG and get some lap times for quantification.
