dear forumers

sorry to disturb you all for having wira under this thread. but i think
this car deserves to be classified under performance proton. my friend told
me that he managed to clock only 50 minutes in his stock proton wira 1.5
(the only add-ins is a cyclone) from Sg Besi toll to Pagoh
toll, travelling at night (roughly 1 a.m.) and averaging not less than
170kmh. is it possible?

anyway, what is the distance covered for this trip?

In cases like this, the car doesn't really matter, it's the average speed
and the distance that counts. So in this case, just find out the distance
to Pagoh and calculate the time taken based on the average speed.

For example, travelling 240 km would take 2 hours if you maintain a
constant speed of 120 km/h. Not sure what the distance to Pagoh is
though, so someone else has to do the maths here.

However, Pagoh is in Johor, and I'm sure the distance is more than 170
km, so I seriously doubt that he did the time in 50 mins. And bear in
mind that not many cars can maintain a constant speed of 170 km/h for
that long.

From Shah Alam to Tangkak exit roughly +- 170km.
If you constantly drive 170km/h u will reached there for an hour.
Your friend might drove his wira's more than 220 km/h...Issit possible?

Another info, seremban to johor at 1 am ,traffic still busy!!!!!!

in 50 min.then his ave speed will be 201km/Hr. Is it possible??

Heh, I like the wormhole theory better. Maybe his car can travel at
lightspeed or something.

this can be true if the average speed is not less than 170 km/h. But on
standard 1.5 Wira..... I really doubt it.

i don't know what to say, now he claimed that he also managed to clock 50
minutes from Sg. Buloh to Ipoh Selatan (toll to toll).

i know of one person who clocked 1 hour from Jalan Duta toll to Ipoh
Selatan toll but his was in a 'Tri-Star'
