Yesterday i just lost to a Merc (E200/E240) old model...very sad...while i'm doing a 100 along the inner curves, he's doing somewhere 110/120 on the outer curves...and he/she floored after the curves,i.e. straight road.. n i can't smell his smoke...totally low morale...
But then, when i saw him/her handling the curves, the car looks very very stable...bery fierce car....Merc's still a Merc...Sunny's still a Sunny....haiz...sad....
haiz...it was one of my confident route & curves there...n this Merc driver made my night sianz...

Do you even have any idea what you're talking about? Your sunny 2l engine displacement one ar? Even you said it yourself, merc is a merc, sunny is a sunny. wtf?!

sad leh....i never expect a merc could maintain such stability while doing curves at 110/120 leh...Originally posted by ditzy:Do you even have any idea what you're talking about? Your sunny 2l engine displacement one ar? Even you said it yourself, merc is a merc, sunny is a sunny. wtf?! -
And I thought it is a known fact that Merc is quite a stable car. Most Merc, or should I say most driver, in Singapore don't floor their accelerator. Thus when you see 1 that slightly step harder, you will be surprised. I drove an auto Sunny recently, all I can say is heavy car. I wonder would a manual sunny feels much better.Originally posted by dcx:sad leh....i never expect a merc could maintain such stability while doing curves at 110/120 leh...

Then it'll be called a ssangyong, not a merc.Originally posted by dcx:sad leh....i never expect a merc could maintain such stability while doing curves at 110/120 leh... -
I agree. A merc is ultimately a merc..Originally posted by ditzy:Then it'll be called a ssangyong, not a merc. -

yealor...sibei stable leh...that Merc i encountered was an old Merc...though old, but it's stable when doing cornering....thought my Sunny was heavy enough to handle those cornering at 100...but from what i experience yesterday, i had an eye openingOriginally posted by wbucket:And I thought it is a known fact that Merc is quite a stable car.

My friends did 160 on a cornering on wet road in bright day light in New Zealand with a tarago and they ended up with a 5000 dollar bill for damages and a fractured right arm.

They should be lucky to make it out alive.Originally posted by dcx:hahaha....fierce leh your friends...doing 160 with a tarago... It was only their first day of the 10 days holiday there. The geh kiang one think 160 can do a corner, hit a railroad post and ended up with the tarago stuck on the railway tracks. The police wanted to send them to appear in court, but charged them only 5000 bucks for damages, and thats not for the car.
They rented another 2 nissan sunnys' to make up for the tarago then another cockanathan filled it up with diesel when its a petrol engine. Luckily they realised and flushed the tank before they started on their journey.
You should have seen their faces when they came back. It was blacker than 10 year old engine oil. -
smart people i see.
