 . You are right I've seen the Satria's zooming on the KLIA expressway's. I've got shaken off the fast lane by zooming Porsche Cayennes and the beamers who I guess would be doing > 200 on those roads and probably are happy to pay the 300 RM fine if they are caught on the speed cam's | |

My top speeds: (1) 125 kmph on Maruti 800 (1995 model, non-AC) This on the Bangalore-Mumba NH-4. Could have done more, but didn't feel safe. (2) 158 kmph in my Santro LS (ZipDrive, 1 lit, Dec. 2000 model) The Santro handled the speed superbly. That said, I have not driven the more fancy cars at higher speeds. This was on a slightly sloping stretch on the Mumbai-Pune expressway (on which I travel every week), with AC switched off, full throttle, with rubber floor mat removed. I am able to *routinely* exceed 150 kmph in my old Santro just about every week, with AC on!! Wonder if this has something to do with engine tuning? I did crib to the service guy about the poor pick-up very early on, during the free service stage, and he said he would tune the engine for more power. The mileage is only about 11-12 kmpl (approx.), with AC on. The other factors for top achievable speeds may be road conditions (slope, grip, etc.) and wind assistance. I plan to try to hit 160 kmph on my next trip this Friday (17 Feb). Was thwarted by traffic in my previous attempt. Incidentally, I have done the distance of about 167 kms from Sion, Mumbai to Kondhwa, Pune in a best time of 2 hours flat (7-45 Am to 9-45 AM) in my old, but beloved Santro!! I take the slightly longer route by passing through Sion-Ghatkopar-Vashi, (rather than through the traffic-prone and signal-plagued Sion-Chembur-Vashi) and bypassing Pune city altogether via Kateraj-Satara Road-Bibewadi-Kondhwa. Do you speed-maniacs have better timings for the Mumbai-Pune route in your fancy cars? I cover the 94 km distance on the Expressway in about 50 mins. I bet I could shave off at least 15 mts if I had a car that could do 180 kimph. Regards, rks | |
