Just sharing, parked my car at Fort around 3am, near Mind Museum across McDo/KFC. Someone parked beside me (M3 SkyActiv Hatch - Grey), the parking was really open as there are only few cars there. Cute lang hihi.

I don't get this 200 km/h thing. It is not like you drive your car that fast every day. Even where I am right now where there's no speed limit on certain highways, I don't drive my car more than 150 km/h even if I can because it's too scary for me. It's not even allowed in the Philippines. My cars in both Germany (where I am at right now) and Philippines (my home) can go past 200 km/h but it does not matter.

They say that the most beer bottle a 160 lb man can drink in two hours is 18 beers and 18 beers in that amount of time is .4 BAC which is lethal. I am pretty sure you won't drink a little less than 18 beers because that's the human limit right? Is 200 km/h for a normal sedan on public roads, where driving past the speed limit is illegal, even relevant or just wanting to know if it can go past its limit? Another is a hobby basketball player measuring his vertical leap in box jumps. Is it really important? Probably for an aspirant in NBA combine needs to know those measurement but for an average weekend player, it doesn't really matter.

A better metric would probably be how good your car runs on 100 km/h or how easy your engine runs on that speed. Does it wiggle or shake while at those speed?

Bullseye, sir... And how good it corners if I may add. =)

Well said.

BTW its just me but really getting tired of reading posts about how this variant/model/brand is better than this and how sitting side by side this one is better looking (its like that creepy guy looking over the next urinal catching a glimpse of the next guy taking a pee, trying to compare). Who doesn't wish they'd be driving something better? But circumstances however conspire otherwise.
