Just get one that looks expensive from the outside and the most noisy muffler will do.
You don't have to "run" to enjoy driving a powerful car.

Going 0->110->0kmh in an Altis and in an Evo is a very different experience. It's not about top speed. It's about the way you get to the speed you want and back. The feel, responsiveness, acceleration, braking, grip, the sound etc... it's just different. I used to go on biz trips for a week or two, and the moment I reach home from the airport, I'd put down my bags, jump into the car and go for a drive.

My guess is that you've never felt that before. Then you will never understand.

VP is already middle management, no? The foreign bank I work in, entry-level managers only pull in somewhere around half of that.

Yes, middle management although not entry level managers - those are AVPs.

Yup, never tried that before, and dun really have the urge to try.
I very kiasi, i couldn't justify the risk (as in accident risk) reward (the satisfaction, if any).

it look so complicated to register a broadband....haha...

No lah blinkblink88, not really difficult. I think you get any broadband, it will work. I think in here we are talking about getting the best speed among all three traffic lights color. Just go to any 7/11 and buy a prepaid broadband and test it out. It do cost money though. It's just like back in Malaysia when choosing Digi, Maxis or Celcom broadband. I will ask around people in my apartment to see which one is the best. So it's the same here as well. Nevertheless, do bear in mind that when there is a football match like English Premier League or last year's World Cup, the performance deteriorated. Maybe a lot of people are streaming football matches.

I hate driving in singapore, unless its the highway, you cant go more then a 100ft without encountering a traffice light. Much prefer driving on route 66 in arizona, just a long unending road with nobody and no traffic lights to bother me.

Buy 300-400hp car, drive at 90kmh. Oh well... it's not unlike buying an expensive DSLR+lens and take bad pictures of ugly gfs, leaves and cobwebs.

Based on my experience, the traffic light is programmed such a way that when the 1st one turn to green light, after a short period, the upcoming one also will turn to green, so the driver do not need to stop the car actually. Of course you can't compare to oversea highway la.
