  Double deckers bus FTW anytime.

  Not true. Try taking a Volgren Bendy, preferably Voith and driven by seasoned SL. Confirm fast one. But IMO, Habits are WAYYYY too heavy.

  Yup, Habits are like 15-16 tons...

  Note that not all Habits have same weight. Out of two forumnite nick here, there is already a diff...

  TIB1062Y-->16110kg...

  TIB1224Y-->15990kg...

  Diff: 120kg.

  Food for thought lols... Both are Voith-ians...

  While out of a random Volgren Bendy...

  TIB1188T--> 15440kg...

  550kg difference! Thats half a ton!

  that's the reason why Volgren can speed. but at the same time, Volgren are gd noise insulator

  I beg to differ. I don't think Volgren bodied buses have good noise insulation. A very good example would be the Volgren bodied artics. When those, especially with ZF transmission being whammed hard, part of Woodlands Interchange would be filled with a loud and high revving engine sound.

  Haha yeah... Hispano body heavy but it is VERY solid. Try crashing into the sides of it with even a lorry. One lorry did try that before. Bus got scratch, lorry front gone. =D

  Never underestimate the power of Pininfarina.

  I'd have agreed with you if you had said a Voith VSO instead.

  
  some vso's can chiong.. hehheh.

  but thats got to do wif bc having a heavy foot on the right pedal. lol.

  just saw 9834 this morning flash past 9662G that i was in (119)^^

  i love VSO's. haha

  but for me i think if both Volgren and Habit start at the same point and speed down hill and flooring pedal, Habit might reach first. when it's heavier, there's mroe potential energy stored in it. so when it go down the hill, the potential energy change into kinetic energy. so that's why.

  sry if u think that i'm having a science lesson abt energy here.

  Personally I don't think it would make any difference.

  But...hey! We never know!

  I must be pretty heavy then. I weigh 16120kg. 10kg more than 1062Y =X

  Thats the weight of the big sacks of rice!

  I did emphasized b4,its the authority that regulate the speeds and pick up,its redundant to have 350hp 1500nm with lock up speed @ kmh what
