  1) It runs on diesel.
  2) It weighs at least 1500kg in unladen weight.
  3) It usually comes with a round sticker at the back that says "50k/h".

  1) Not just diesel. CNG too.
  2) True
  3) Limited to 60km/h and no further, unless the driver knows how to tweak the speed limiter.

  Eh , get this.... from what i read, it is possible to turbo your car if it is not originally. approval from manufacturer, and some testing body like TUV(germany). alright. So this means you can turbo your lambo, done by TUV approved MTM, just show LTA the papers. haha!!!

  Can! As quoted above, do visit the LTA web site for more info. Turbo-ing of the car requires tons of paper work, though it might not worth it (might as well get the stock turbo cars, YRV turbo and such isn't expensive), but it might worth some study if someone else had already went through with the testings and stuff.

  Can go north mah! Heard about many who like to drive along the Malaysia straits and also challenge the PG.
  
  Also as stated in another thread about max speed in SG, people are doing some un-believeable speed at who know when and where!

  True. But this is a much better reply than the first one.
  
  Peace!

  think i should say someting here. go check out RUF,Alpina, Gemballa,Brabus. these are but a few german 'tuners'. they are certified by the TUV(german automotive testing body) to be 'manufacturers. And they offer warranty for their products and their power enhancements ususally meet euro and US emissions standards.
  Please don't get too worked up over this 'singapore cannot' thing. this si just a discussion,for the informational benefit of everyone here. wbucket said that it is possible,go see LTA site,it's just difficult,like you said. But for the tuning fraternity in singapore, it opens up a world of opprtunities, at least fo the tuner shops.
  
  there's no need to go slamming thread starters even if you think the topic is nonsense or irrelevant. just relax and enjoy your time here with fellow like minded people.
