wow, speed city is so near my place and yet i never knew it existed till i googled the location! do they have a mini race track there? can't find a track layout in their website.

Actually I usually drive at 140-160kph.at night, shoot up to 180kph...

Hi all, just notice yesterday my radio volume auto increased align with increased of speed. Test with low volume at 3 bar playing mp3 from usb and when i increased my speed to above 130mph, the volume also increased but remain at 3 bar. When i slow down, the volume also reduced. Its awesome..

yeah. RM 6 per person to see the drift and RM 5 per car for parking. Quite exciting seeing them to drive in high speed. Just dislike the tyre smells. You should call
Kah Loon Wong and Andrew to drop by if got free time every Saturday night.

Thanks for the info SKYjack. The 408 Turbo looks like it has the most capable engine in the Peugeot line-up. How about acceleration and torque? Can it beat a Civic 2.0L and/or an Altis 2.0V?

On paper its better. In real life, why dont u test it out yourself?

Thanks x800. In fact I've driven my colleague's 408 to and from our lunch hangout. It seemed quite fast. Problem is I didn't have time to outaccelerate a Civic or Altis. Not trying to be a hooligan. Please don't get me wrong. Just want to hear from owners who've got more experience, if you don't mind.

hmmm, andrew as in the andrew from peugeot club?

Hi Jiunkei,


Yap, the owner is here....Lol

I sent my 408T there on saturday morning, and sent another Mazda3 in the afternoon.

The result of mazda3 after SierraGlow is amazing.....

Civic 2L and Altis 2L produce just under 200nm torque. To achieve that the engine has got hit about 4500rpm. 408t puts out 240nm at 1400rpm. Not only is the torque higher, it's at a very low 1400rpm. This means 408t will pull away much quicker while the Jab boxes are pushing hard to get up to 4500rpm before they can produce 200nm. You need 2.4NA engine to match 408t acceleration!

I tested Civic before. It's the 2.0 full spec version.
And definitely 408T will blows Civic away in terms of acceleration and torque. But not sure abt Altis, but based on the experience on had a T. Wish in my family. It will be no match with Prince Turbo.
However, I went for a test on the Golf MK7 last Sat. The torque and pickup of this car will easily smoke Prince Turbo away... No wonder they call MK7 as Global Car!!

That's the way she likes it....... !

Ofcourse,the MK7 is a supercharged and turbo charged engine. Talking about blown away, MK7 will give one hell of blow job....hehehe!

Some correction, VW took out the supercharge from MK7.
And I just noticed yesterday, MK7 weight around 1.8tons at the gross weight. Gosh....

Ya kah? What engine size & how much torque?

Engine still the same TSI.
1.4L turbocharged.
HP reduced to 140 from 160
Torque improved to 250 from 240

Both cars won't have the torque to beat the 408T. In real life, the Civic and Altis would probably output around 155Nm to 165nm of torque, while the 408THP would probably output 205Nm to 215Nm. On top of that the 408THP has a better range compared to the Japanese NA because of the turbocharger.

But the previous generation Civic 2.0L supposedly is still capable of 0 to 100 times in full automatic D mode in 9.9s. Respectable but still not capable enough in topping the 408THP.

The Altis 2.0V does it around 10.xs, which is even worse than the Civic.

The Civic R would be a different story altogether but it also sits in a different price range.

I tested it as well along with another forummer. It's a VERY capable car. The refinement is there too, but it's still a bit too pricey :/

Yes, agree. The refinement is good.
However, my wife first sight on the car, straight away told me she don't like the car. Haha.... Maybe due to too pricey and smaller car? She even told me, such 160k price car don't come with leather seat?!?! Lolx... However, at a driver perspective, it's such a GOOD car.
Am still waiting the comparison between MK6 and MK7 from Kenso. My friend own MK6 but he didn't go for test drive on MK7, so unable to comment the performance in between. Anyone did the comparison?

Same reaction to my wife, she even tell me not to test drive..becos for her is not attractive at all and waste of time to have a look. Lol
