Aba meron na palang taxi na optra

Also, this car will never match up in terms of speed against Japanese cars in the same class, I've tried racing Altises, Civics and 323s at C-5 and SLEX, and I got beat everytime!

That because of its 1,225 kg curb weight on a 110 hp..Top Speed of my stock optra is 180km/h(I think the optra can reach 200km/h) thats only from filinvest going to sucat exit.I'm racing against a vtec3 with modified internals..hehe..I also did some cornering doing over 70-80km/h. I also race against a 323 familia and another vtec3 and I've won because they both made a mistake on overtaking.

I was just lucky and I'm gonna miss those days I had that optra..heheh

How much gas did you consume on those races?

Now that's what we call a racing talent!

I always reach the gas tank only up to 1/2.But my gas during that time was more than 1/2...

200km/h nga lang limit nito on stock. Kaso ang hirap paabutin dahil starting from 180km/h, mabagal na ang pagincrease ng speed. Due to the safety reasons siguro kaya dahan-dahan pagincrease na nakaset sa ECU para maiwasang mapadpad sa red zone. =D

btw, ung bagong design ng grill ng Optra ngaun sa color black na units... umm, kung di ko trip ung saken ngaun, mas lalong di ko trip un. Ewan ko, di lang talaga bagay para sa sasakyan IMO kung black. Pero sa ibang kulay oks naman. Grabe... pati grill kelangan style-coordinated na rin sa body.

pwede ka naman magpakabit ng customized na grill.
medyo mahal nga lang dahil pati bumper ay damay.
meron sa A-toy na website, bodykit for Optra.
yun nga lang 16k yung bumper + grill nila.

same tayo. i never seem to have a full tank in my Optra.

The Optra's handling is really quite good. Part of my fuel saving technique is running the corners at higher speeds that normal and the Optras handling is remarkable. i wouldn't be doing this if the Optra didn't have such good handling in the corners.

Good thing I got the optra 1.8LT. La naman ako reklamo sa consumption considering na its a 1.8. Di ko lam pinagkaiba ng E-Tec ng 1.6LS sa D-tec engine ng 1.8LT. And bat kaya hindi na sila naglabas ng 1.8 ng 2006? Good thing nakakuha ako hehe... La naman ako naging problem sa Optra ko kundi sa battery lang kasi hindi pala maintenance free ung batt niya nung galing sa casa. pero pinalitan din ng GM motors ng brand new na maintenance free... for free!
