Maybe what mat trying to say is, you don't need much effort to achieve 140-160kmh. Not that you don't have to floor the pedal to overtake.
*
I think what Mat is trying to say is every combination of engine and transmission have its own optimum point where you can extract the power hp and torque to make the car move. Therefore it is useless to floor the pedal as the engine has already reached its limit. You will not gain any extra power by doing that. Just extract all the power from its optimum point.

OK...I think when preve is out, owner can try a drag race 0-120 km/hr by using diff method to find out the answer. Whether pedal to medal or half throttle or whatever throttle position that says 4k rpm.

I dont understand why do you want to race using this car. It's not meant for racing. It's transmission and gearbox was designed for normal consumer use in Malaysian road although it was also tested oversea.

The characteristic of the car driving, accelaration, suspension etc had been designed so it will offer comfortable driving experience. Not like race car settings or sportsmode whatever.

That's why no point revving the engine so high pedal to metal to get the power, just extract the power from its optimal point, unless this car is satria neo S2000.

boy racer why buy preve? turbo+cvt = doh.gif

buy old honda civic, plonk in vtec la. can smoke new type R in sepang.

buy preve trying to pwn family sedan is kiddo.

i always saw ppl in proton 1 family drive at 180km/h. if they go, they make sure they do in 1 family, no one left behind. from satria to exora.

Lol. thats's funny. What you said is true. People buy car like proton, perodua, kancil H& T also not excluded than put turbo modded here and there.

The car chassis,suspension etc is not tuned for racing for god sake. If you really want to race buy la those high performance engine car BMW M5 ke? doh.gif

I think, its more to do with malaysian driver mentality. They like to revv all the way hoping that the car will go faster... and they are happy chasing or come very close to the car in front with the mindset to tell you to get lost or move away (aka `cucuking'). Sometimes I don't know what behaviour to associate with this kind of driver .... ego ?, rush ? angry? .

This behaviour quite contrast with UK driver for example. You hardly seeing any car come close to you and everybody seems to take their time and more considerate on the road.

Reading this thread, I can see the mentality to tekannnnn for the sake of to utilize the turbo function or maybe to show off.
*
Hahaha this is quite true i agree. I dun understand people alwayz want to cucuk, when drive must keep a distance with car in front yet people is driving like this.

No wonder when accident got cars piled up together. Having experience driving in UK i must said that it was 360 degrees compared to driving in Msia. Peace of mind i must say.

No changing lane without signal. Give way to pedestrian and other drivers. Very polite. Highway almost everyone driving at constant speed 70mph. No cucuking.

Come back to msia terus major headache. mad.gif

Woahh nice la the red one. I don't think the GPS is lockatoo. The HU with the touchscreen is from Bosch, so maybe it's from them.

Overall the car design is nice, just that i dont like the font they use for the speedometer and gear. It's difficult to read and looks blocky.

The dashboard looks simple, however i dun like the button placement and the HU looks like it doesnt match with the car interior (like pasang from brothers shop only). lol.

Probably proton spend too much for the powertrain and the exterior design. The interior is lacking depth. IMHO

Not bashing la. I think we all love proton and expect the car to be better this time around.

The design, powertrain, handling all good already, sayangla kalau the interior spoil everything in the packgage.

That one is caused by jpeg processing in camera. The one above is using much better camera providing much accurate colours, i suspect dslr. The one you've given i suspect came from phone camera.

Sigh...but nothing can stop God's greater plan. Forte...be it in me, your fans, your owners, your competitors, your basher, your enemies..deny all we can...but you are to us a true winner. From the day your are designed & born..you have accomplish what exactly you are meant to.."crosses everybody hearts & be forever remembered".

Sayonara..rest in peace..all hails to you.

From your proud owner.

The CVT is kinda uncomfortable to drive in stop and go traffic, but so is a 6 speed DSG. It's only a matter of getting used to it, unless you wanna stick with a 4AT.

Is it because of the jerk or engine braking you mention earlier? I'm curious about this.
