there are lots of waja in the guise of evos out there.

i admit some of the body-kits and mods were quite impressive.

but still, a P1's still a P1, no matter what mods made to the car.

the real evo is a lot better than any P1 car.

Sorry, my mistake. Some of you are not from KL.

Besraya highway is not about top speed, but its about turns and corners
and how you take the racing line. Top speed is hopeless there. Sad to say
but even my Aprilia scooter can go faster there as I can take the corners
at 130kmh without touching the brake levers.

Unfortunately it is A PUBLIC road and one should not be doing that as it
will harm the other road users. I have to admit, sometime I cannot tahan
but usually it will be early morning where there is no traffic and I will
slow down at the exits or u-turns.

YOU must learn to read the road ahead of you and expect the worse. That is
why you should never race in a public road because racing means u must
win. When u have that in mind, you will throw out all your logic and sense
of awareness.

So push your car but if others want to cucuk you the wrong way, just back
off because it is not worth it. (If the coast is clear, lu hentam dia
balik la).

As for the fuel saving device, I am giving my wife a week to test it out.
So relax bro..relax. Anyway, you must remember that your driving habit is
the most influential factor in FC.
