I accidentally came across this article in Wikipedia.

Can someone confirm this?

Here's the link
-----------------------------
Speed limit

80 km/h near Metro Manila, 100 km/h in rural areas, but 120 km/h is permitted. Speed limits are strictly enforced via CCTV cameras and speed guns, and speeders are usually identified as soon as they hit the tollbooth. The highest speed recorded here is 364 km/h by a BMW 650i on April 17, 2008 along the stretch of San Fernando to Pulilan exit.

Along the stretch of San Fernando and Pulilan exit on a 364 km/h speed?????
That is only a 20 km range?

Unbelievable???

I thought the topspeed was only something around 310 km/h.

[Isuzoom]

hindi ako yun.....

[ghosthunter]

Well, it's not me either.

The fastest I have done on NLEX was only 185kph while trying to chase down a Lexus which was going much much faster than I was.

[Type 100]

Aba. Galit sa gasolina si 650i driver. Hehehe

I wonder if he was even able to brake in time?

[woohoo]

Top speed lang naman yan, kahit 1km pwede naman, di naman binanggit na nag-start sa zero. Malamang nag-start na yan sa 120kph at least. Saka baka 1 second lang na-sustain, sinubukan lang ipalo sa 364.

Peace, kapatid.

[meledson]

Not me, 140Kph pa lang ako sa Avanza J.

Brother ko, 160kph sa 2K GLX pizza nya.

[kumagbehota]

yup pede naman yun as long as me equipment na pedeng mag gauge ng speed... yung BMW ba nayan up to 400 km/hr ang gauge? ayus ah... yung barkada ko dati nagkwento 200 km/hr in 30 mins sa NLEX, sabi ko utut mo eh 80km + lang yung, eh di umumpog ka na sa dulo non, hehehe, barbero...

[Syuryuken]

nakakapag-init talaga ng ulo tong driver ko sa NLEX na naman nag test drive

joke!

[s_quilicot]

Ever heard of NASCAR INDY 500. Some ovals are less than 2.5 miles and those guys drive aroound it at top speed of over 180MPH!!.

Sa drag racing, the course is just a mere QUARTER MILE (400 METERS). The FUNNY CARS or FORMULAS go as high as 250 to 350 MPH.

On a 20 km stretch of open road, kaya mag over 300 kph kung kaya ng kotse mo. mahaba pa naman ang buwelo niya, eh.

I believe the test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany where the Bugatti Veyron did 407kmh is just about 20kms the whole lap, and the straight is just 9kms long.

I guess doable ang 364kmh doon pero doubt it a BMW 650i would be able to do it. Di ba electronically limited sila to around 250kmh lang?

[pup2]

Di naman po ganun kahirap tanggalin ang speed limiter. Sandali lang sa mga race shop yun.

Pero kung higit sa stated max speed nung kotse yun, he'd need major mods to do so on TOP of being a bimmer 6, not to mention being able to do so safely.

Specially since bumababa na ang slope ng hp/torque curve pag nasa dulo na IN ADDITION to wind resistance and lift being a bigger and bigger problem.

Eh mga 200 kph pa lang gusto na lumipad ng hood sa stock na kotse eh.

i doubt it.. wikipedia is a crappy resource for information..
and the quality of the road along pulilan to san fernando is not that good,
compared from balintawak to tabang exit na super ganda ng road surface..

Wow, just wow! I think this record could hold on for a long time.

I wonder if there are new records Ü
