can, i think its cheaper than that also, prob 130k lidat... cool car..

[misterbean]

my heart says Evo 8

 

 

 

 

my head says buy 2 budget cars @ 50k each and keep the other 50k in the bank ...

[endlessloop]

Er, while the initial budget is stated at up to 150k, it is not stated how big is one's oil field to maintain the petrol consumption...

 

Eg: Fairlady gives you 350km per full tank at normal singapore driving, but it cost you $180 per full tank!

aiya when ur younger in age..u just tink of "wat is the CAR" dat really matters...slowly when u grow older u will tink "how to keep the car" matters more...so looking at this kinda threads bein post on n off is usual...juz try to make urself feel young n vote for ur dream dat y I chose the S2000 hahahaha...

 

In bare facts actually I tink the EuroR is a better bet...save more fuel compare to others, cheaper insurance...slightly more expensive rd tax compare to the 2L cars n it more of a all rounder....anytime u can fit a baby chair to it, enuff boot space to bring ur family out for a holiday n they all can sit comfortablely from Spore - Genting while u enjoy ur trills on the NSH...bearing in mind dat any normal income earnin Sporean can afford the above list of cars at the age of may earliest late 20s to latest late 30s or even older...so at the age u shld already hav a family wif you somehow or rather n u may not want a flashy open top s2000 anymore....unless itz a 2nd car when u got excess cash to spare or ur simply born to a rich dad

[myxilplix]

Once again i'll have to choose a 2nd hand Lotus Exige.

[n00b]

actully it really depends on wat sort of car one goes for....the cars listed are like in different cat....but for me, i will go for the evo 8

seriously its not so much, abt 130K with coe, i ask b4...

[Throttle]

150k can buy a 9 year old Porsche Carrera, so I'd go for that.

 

there will always be value in a porsche , just like a rolex

[Throttle]

but from the list, i 'll take the S2000....

 

almost bot it until i decided to be more practical

[deftones80]

S15. or Rx7

[Guest Bestbest]

THink I'll choose RX8, not in the list leh... cheap insurance, rd tax...

[endlessloop]

A RX8 driver tells me that RX8 fuel consumption is worse than Evo. Maybe 5-6km/litre, normal singapore driving.

[MysticMoon]

top speed not enuff . if i not wrong i saw a car magazine @ library. got a test between lotus elise n evo 8.. i think is evo 8 top speed better then lotus maybe i wrong lah. . lotus so small . drive it scare give those tua ling gong truck row over . haha. then become prata

hw abt a v-tec cum turbo? v-tec turbo

for single cam cars convert to v tec turbo is cheap la.. but for twin cam cars to convert is quite expensive.. plus the most only up till 1 bar.. bhp up by not much.. thats wat i personally feel.

[keong84]

turbo - for pick up:thumb:

 

v tec - for long distance:thumb:

 

stock evo 8 might lose to stock DC5 over 40 lamp posts.

[keong84]

launching confirm evo win.. rolling definitely DC5.. chop with stamp:thumb:

[keong84]

i'm talking bout stock to stock of course.. evo with 'tua' turbo no need play 40.. engine confirm 'bong' (engine blow)..

DC5

 

BHP : 220BHP @ 8000rpm

torque : 203Nm @ 7000rpm

0-100 : 6.7s

0-400 : 14.3s

Top Speed : 235km/h

 

EVO 8

 

BHP : 280Bhp @ 6500rpm

torque : 273Nm @ 3500rpm

0-100 : 4.7s

0-400 : 13s

Top Speed : 255km/h

 

Pick Up the Evo will win due to its turbo induction as u can see.

TOp speed wise depends a lot on torque @ what rpm. The Evo is having 273Nm @ only 3500rpm yet the DC5 need to run 7000Rpm to get it's 203Nm and top speed Evo win hans down.

Vtec kicks in at 6000rpm stock and turbo for the evo boost at 3000rpm stock. that means on 5 gear u are already very near it's max torque without the need to drop gear to boost the 3000 rpm.

 

As for Long Distance, The Vtec is a High Rev Engine and all High Rev Engines are not meant for long distance. Look at the Rpm needed to boost the kind of power for the DC 5. But I must Admit the DC 5 can take the 225bhp stock rex anytime due to it's power to weight ratio. But definately not the EVO 8 in short run, long run or even 40 tuang.

 

Specs are for JDM models.

hw abt a v-tec cum turbo? v-tec turbo

tat will be sucide.

Vtec like the dc5 is running at 11.1:1 compression and with the force induction of 1bar will definately blow the engine.

All turbo cars run on low compression take for example the evo is running about 8.8:1 compression ratio. thus can boost up to about 1.3-1.5 bar on stock turbo. anything more need to upgrade turbo/intercooler bla bla....

Errrh bro ... ... if you talking about DC5 Type-R, I don't think their compression 11.1:1, is more like 12.5:1 ... ... something like that ... ...

No offence, just a correction ... ...

Dnt play play abt car info with NormalAs...

He wack the sh*t out of u boy......
