However, ONCE they've picked up speed, my goodness, those things are like a homing missile. I've ever driven from Singapore to KL (started very early, at about 430am, cleared Tuas customs & Sultan Abu Bakar Complex by about 5am, and reached KL city fringes 2.5 hours later. That's an average speed of about 130km/h, which doesn't sound very impressive, until you consider that we took toilet breaks & there were occasions where I had to cut down on speed (e.g. approaching toll booths & overhead bridges) - so, to catch up on the 130km/h average, I definitely would have to floor the car in a big way.And it's pretty impressive to think that even at 220km/h, the E65 is rock-solid steady, and never wavered from the piloted course.Once my F02 is fully run in, I'm making another cannonball run up north heheheh <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
