heard mazdaspeed's rx-8 makes 260bhp in 6-speed manual guise..now that wud be something!!! 1.3 na making 260bhp..must be a screamer!!!

a rotary engine with 1.3 is equivalent to 2.6 in a normal engine...

rotary engines... save alot on road tax but keep the savings for when the seals give way

Had a RX8 overtake me on the inside leading up to the elevated highway, caught him at the toll. I managed to keep up with him all the way pass the "s" bend. Could tell by where he was braking that he didn't know that most of the bends can be taken flat out. And after a short while of me on his rear, he gave up and pulled over to let me pass.

Nice car but i think it lacks torque.

Wah! Taking bends on elevated highways flat-out?! You got titanium for b*lls, man!!

The "s" one can be straightened out quite nicely, don't even have to lift off, unless there is traffic.

I can get up to 200 before i hit the toll heading back towards Ampang.
But usually somebody gets in the way...not that i do that kind of thing anymore now. Usually i stick to the 80kmh limit.

Yar, the Ampang elevated highway is great for speeding, especially in the direction of Ampang to Town.

JP,

One of my Board members drives a Gallardo and his partner a Murcielago. When a close pal bought his Skyline R33, he had 450horses on tap. The petrolhead that he is, sent the car to Spore, paid for the TopSecret engineers flight from Japan to up the ante to 700horses.

After the job, the Lambos never saw anything but the rear end of his orange Skyline around Sepang. And this was what he had to say.....

"My R33 can have both the Lambos for breakfast but at the end of the day a Nissan aint no Lambo"

Comprende? B)
