Ok, I'll start out since I'm the topic starter.
So far been smoked once on the expressway, ECP. Since I got my class 3 of cos.
Been trying to max out my dad's car(unmodded 1000cc Suzuki Swift) potential. (I know itz not much, but keepin a car in SG needs "mu-lah".)
While trying out, mostly during the wee hours, 2am - 3am, cos few cars around, some taxi drivers for some reason challenges me at traffic lights(dun understand them, I tot they too tired until cannot think).
Scenario(my first challenge, or so I've considered it to be) : I stopped at traffic light, 2 taxis(1 yellow, 1 blue) stops at either side. Green light, I floored, they floored, I lead(never challenge them in the first place), I overtake them take right most lane, yellow taxi flashing high beam and horning(I dun understand y he did tat). Reached another traffic light. Yellow taxi stop beside me, green light, both floored, I take inner corner and overtake taxi again, taxi repeat action(flashing & horning), reached home safely.
Scenario(my defeat) : travelling at 100km/h, 5th gear(save fuel) at ECP exiting Fort road, feeling kinky, floored, reached 120km/h. A Saab(I dunno much bout this car, very bright lights) tailgates me, both overtakes a taxi in front at either side(me left Saab right), the Saab is leading after we passed the taxi, I give a chase, speed 135km/h @ 4500rpm, car vibrates violently, both of us brakes hard at the bend(I drop to 115km/h@4th gear), was able to close up the distance very quickly at the bend, my car vibrates violently again, I slowed down, the distance between me and the phantom Saab lenghtens.
The experience was exciting and thrilling, I was totally concentrating on the road and corner at the highest possible speed. But the defeat was argonizing, at least I've learnt 1 thing. Skill isn't everything, and never try to take on a bigger car, and I sucked.. Tatz 3 things... hmm...
My dad's car is going to be scrapped soon, I gave it a chance to prove its maximum potential(on the roads). Its not much but I'm satisfied with the result. -
Well...got smoked by TP...always.

Still got,only once in singapore ,my eyes open big big,kanna smoked by VAN!!!!!no joking,i drive a honda prelude,old car liao..but got mod abit lah....by rite still can chiong abit rite.....
i was at PIE 2nd lane,den got a vehicle cut me quite fast from 3rd lane,i chase,err...VAN? wtf??.den filter out to upp paya laba rd towards hougang.at traffic light,i see him,he see me,den 1st gear, we both "pang" wheels, den i cannot believe my ears, the VAN 2nd gear also "pang" wheels, from 0-100km/p, he win but after 100km/h, i smoke him....
Ask some friends,is a VW VAN 1.9 cc with TDI engin=Turbo Diesel Engine...so wat u guys tink, is i somke him after 100km/h or he smoke me from 0-100km/h?sometimes singapore van also cannot play play.
Any one know how powerful this van is?i read up in net say TDI engine tolarance level quite high & quite capable of hard reving, if it is true,can sell my prelude get a van liao. -
that van got double spoiler on top?
must be quite tough on the engine. -
Keep your prelude lah. Itz almost extinct in Singapore liao. So itz goin to turn a lot of heads. No doubt the van is powerful, I've a friend who starts at 2nd gear, from the start overtakes vehicles like nobody's business.
But vans seems to have a higher C.G. making it a real pain when cornering, look as if itz going to topple anytime. -
i think you should return your class 3 as soon as possible...
"fear of being smoked"...
have not seen such immaturity in.... a few weeks...

as for racing with Malaysian cars on the N/S freeway, most of these guys go up and down everyday for work. They travel that fast not to race so unless you are going faster just let them pass.
Tailgating to force them giving way is another dumb habit, just indicate right and most m'sian cars would know that you wanna overtake and will gladly let you.
Lives are at stake -
This thread is for people to share their experience, not for people to start a heat up debate. If you dont like this thread, you shouldn't be reading it in the first place, let alone posting a reply.Originally posted by the Bear:i think you should return your class 3 as soon as possible...

And I dont see any "immaturity" or "fear of being smoke" by sharing experiences. -
no need to play with them la.... all their cars mod one...Originally posted by bo liao:haha...really dunno how to play wid malaysia cars...
Imagine my kelisa 1000cc at 130km/h got overtaken by a kancil 600cc.... impossible right?? but 5 mins later, cannot even see the tail light of that kancil. -
i'm sharing mine...
someone in the uni i was in, who had too much money, too little experience with turbo-charged cars, not enough common sense, and too much testosterone, wrapped his car around a lamp post...
luckily, he survived....
he had a total of 5 months experience driving a normal 1.3 litre car then he went to australia, bought himself a WRX and promptly put it around a lamp post...
he didn't wanna get smoked by another asian student, also with too much money and not enough sense..
besides, i'm involved if you guys don't wanna be "smoked" and race on the streets... i use the streets too.. i don't want to be killed by you people... -

anyway those taxi drivers are crazy. ever once saw this taxi, as i was on my way home from phuture, run 2 reds. we stopped at a red, then he pulls up alongside, slows down, then floors it thru the red. we were like... wth???
then we caught up with it at a 2nd red. this time he stopped. but about 20 sec b4 the lights change, he floors it thru red again. we were like... WTF??? -
those kancils are crazy under the hood.Originally posted by my_name_is_Natasha:no need to play with them la.... all their cars mod one...

I am sorry about your friend, I understand where you are trying to get to, you are trying to warn us about the hazards.Originally posted by the Bear:i'm sharing mine...

But with all due respect, this is only an experience sharing session, not some "I race illegally everyday and I challenge you" session. Hope you understand. Sometimes people tend to drive a little faster than normal and interesting incidents with fellow drivers occur. This is wat this thread is for.
Oh yes, 1 more thing, in an accident, not everytime the driver is at fault. I saw an old man (truth case) cycling in the corner of an expressway, wee-hours some more, is he surpose to do that?
What makes him think the drivers are going to see him? His bicycle carries no reflector what so ever.
What happens if a car (touch wood) hits him, the driver is to blame or the irresponsible actions of this old man? Although the driver is charged/jailed/revoked/whipped/wat have you, this "old man" paid with his life by acting irresponsiblely.
And for your info, people can't afford to "floor" the accelerator everytime, fuel is expensive, in Singapore, you know. So don't worry too much about "racing incidents". Even if there is, itz in the wee hours where the number of cars are the least and at unpopulated (uu-lu) areas(please keep the areas to urself, if you really wanna tell, PM me). And I believe most drivers are responsible for their actions, they only show these feats only once in a blue moon, so why not share them.
There a lot of threads sharing their victories. But there's a lost match for every champion forged, why not share this "lost" with us? Thats why this thread was born, please don't blame me for trying out something new.
When driving normally, I shift my gears at 2000rpm, and never go faster than 100km/h(5th gear@about 3500rpm), I know itz slow... but save fuel leh!! >100km mileage uses less than 1/4 of the tank.
So anyone got this "ding-dong...ding-dong" thingy when you go faster than 100km/h? I find it a cute reminder...ha ha!!
Darn, I'm long-winded. I apologise for that. Back to the topic.
No offense Bear. -
Seems tat not many pple wanna share their lost.
