QUOTE(excit3 @ Oct 29 2006, 08:25 PM) I never speed that fast yet.... my ride not that geng. ;P on a 10 year old 1.5 manual wira and best I did was 150 along the NPE. The truth is: its actually 140km/h, actual speed. The speedometer reports slightly faster to discourage speeding and avoiding the blame if you ever get caught. My GPS confirmed it was 140 (too bad no screenie  ).. 1.5 GL? managed to whack on my previous auto to 160km/h when I was in Federal Highway few years ago. Current Gen2 maxed at 140km/h... car still new, still manja lar. hehe as for pix, no chance to take coz bz chasing the one infront of me.

QUOTE(eng98 @ Oct 30 2006, 11:40 AM) i wonder y all curious of gen2 can touch 200km/h.... i dunno u all believe or not... i was chasing my fren's year 2003 model c200k... i didn't realise i was doing 180 on 4th gear at 6k rpm den quickly shift to fifth gear for 200 and above.. the merc is just 3 - 4 seconds infront of me.... i know all cars speedo got error but if my gen2 got the worst error den the merc is not really good at all??? p/s: all these was happened in a safe situation... 3 - 4 am on federal highway... exactly... the S4PH can easily touch 200km/h in stock condition. just wonder y is there so many question marks and disbelief eyes on this issue... if itz due to the branding, then i cannot say anything liao... some ppl... aih. cheers.

QUOTE(mattchin @ Oct 30 2006, 01:37 PM) auto tranny and manual tranny got 40% power difference (read it somewhere).. so don be shocked that manual can go faster than an auto.. gen2 can reach 200kmh+/- but how long does it take to reach 200km/h is the matter..  well, must understand the characteristic of the engine first. If you intend to play pickup then dun waste ur time and petrol. Gen2 ain't build for it... Rather, accelerate slowly and when it reaches it sweet spot, thatz where it starts to roar... hehehe cheers.
