Okay din sunday early morning sa SLEX...

Yup, that really happens. They do acceleration runs, probably 60-200 or 250. You need a properly fast car to do 250 as a stock sti would struggle.

Only knew a handful of folks who went past 250kmh on our local roads. One neighbor who has a 2013 AMS-tuned GT-R (rated 950hp) told me he hit 297 kmh in SCTEX.

A few years back, I was doing around 130kmh in Skyway early morning when I noticed a really fast approaching car on my rearview mirror. He passed me easily and I think he was doing well over 200kmh. It was an Aston Martin based on its rear badge.

Ah oki
I usually stay on middle lane/s naman
MINSAN lang kasi may eksena medyo similar kay egan, nasa middle lane na ako tapos si fast car nasa overtaking lane na pero may auto sa harapan nya. Kaya nag slow down ako incase gusto nya mag overtake using my lane.

I will let him pass on my lane if there is enough gap for him to pass safely and him informing me ahead of time of his intention (using proper signals). I usually cruise at the speed limit so someone passing me must be doing 20% over the limit or even faster. If an a** is driving slow on the fast lane and I travel faster on the middle lane (which is common in SLEX), the approaching faster vehicle has no choice but to wait till I clear the slower car on the fast lane.

The best way to prevent accidents is to be predictable. If you can't change lanes, continue at whatever speed you are going.

If you feel that the situation may become dangerous, signal to change lanes and move over to the slow lane. But DO NOT suddenly change speed.

Thanks bro. akala ko talaga i was doing the right thing by slowing down.

Anyone use to go to greenhills around 1979 or 1980 for drag racing?

Yes i did, Greenhills, Marcos Hi-way, and sometimes Porac.
1982-1984. I used Galant but drove for my friend's Lancer, Corona. Uso pa nun setups. Single side, Twin side. etc.

i know a guy who crashed while racing along ortigas greenhills area

that was in the early 2000s

he survived but his friend in the passenger seat died

just saying

yes it's too dangerous. If I know then (i was young) that it is that dangerous, i wouldn't have done it.

[uls]

aside from ortigas i witnessed crashes in libis and mindanao ave

same era

i raced too

i almost crashed once along Mindanao Ave.

glad i survived that phase

others weren't so lucky
