:lol: BTW, what colour is your friend's masserati? I was apparently challenged by a black one last nite, twice, from traffic junction after PIE Eunos exit (direction towards PasirRis), going towards Still Road. First it revved past while i was behind a cab, then it hi-revved again after the next traffic junction. Well, my kid was sleeping alone in the rear, so..no dramatics, parted way shortly. Wish it were a Ferrari though, and that i was alone at that material time.. for i would like to confirm a personal belief that (all parameters being equal) a Ferrari cannot shake off a stock CT9A (manual, w or w/o SAYC); all within a legal & safe procedure of cos...


Grey, but she is pregnant now so is driving her boss's Beemer 7 series. Like sis Baby girl said lor, no matter wat car someone drives, a hothead is a hothead. Drive NA oso push, drive Lambo oso push, perhaps fly the space shuttle oso will push.

Frenly frenly "lets see who can drive" or something like dat I don mind... In Aus, I went against 4l cars in my puny 1.6 colt... But it was in the intent that we were to see who can drive better around corners and so on... I wud be an idiot to push a 4l to show him dat I can go faster... Its like a donkey trying to jio a racehorse.. in the end.. only let racehorse laugh...

:lol: theorectically correct... However, our realistic expectations (i.e. where the action counts (eg) on the road, track, strip...etc.) are often coloured & marred by paper specifications. I once told a Lexus saleswoman that a GS300, with its (inter alia) higher displacement & output figures in comparison w a 523i, would be outpaced and outhandled by the latter; she prob thought I was either illiterate or confused :mrgreen:

Well, like the practical Baba engineer would say :"the proof of the nonya-kueh lies in its taste..doesnt matter what the advertised ingredients may be, if the end-product is yucky, it's yucky... :D

The by-now-classic quasi-test between the LamboMurcie & Evo VIII FQ400 (TopGear) in '04 speaks volumes. (Of cos, we do know that given the hardware and setup of the FQ, the 400 Bhp was a way conservative tune...but still, it was 4cyl vs 12 cyl, 2l vs 6.*l, smaller output vs bigger output, small $ vs big $ (nevermind the drivers)...etc..)

My head hurts...... :( hehehehe.. too much technical info... hahaha.. jus joking lah... a lambo in the hands of a not so gud driver is still not as gud as an Evo in the hands of STIG... I'm also a fan of top gear... But it is true... and that is why I do not mind going on a track with a GTR... Staright line.. forget it...

:D (not 'technical' at all bro (dun headache, dun headache, keke...) just bitching and killing time at the mess..gosh, ICT is tough!)

The FQ was driven by JC, the presenter, whilst the Lambo was purportedly driven by the then British Touring Car Champ; ahh, that clip was indeed good for a laugh, esp when JC tried to get 'technical' regarding limitations/difficulties in driving the FQ :P

I've a friend with an 800+Nm CT9A who couldn't outdrag (i.e. straight line, rolling) a relatively stock and significantly heavier R35 w/ much lesser torque on paper. Of cos, peak torque of that "hi-horse" Evo came in much, much later than...well, most cars'.

...of fallacies, mental masterbation and all :lol:
