I have the same awe and surprise as you guys... and I am trying to get more information about this "feat". Kaya lang MNTC's website is useless. However, I did send MNTC an email requesting for them to confirm the claim.

As I was doing my research on this, I came across another "claim to fame" but on the south side:

-----------------------------
"The highest recorded speed on Skyway (and The Philippines) is 320 km/h by a modified Nissan Skyline GT-R by local tuning shop Autoplus Sportzentrum. The record was then followed by a Lamborghini Murciélago. (then followed by a Ford GT in NLEx*)"
Wikipedia site

*I guess they haven't come across the BMW 650i's 364KPH record.

Unfortunately, Skyway's website is under construction so zero info on them.

364 kph? ano kaya pakiramdam nyan kung ikaw ang driver and passenger? siguro yung b*y*g ko nasa noo o lalamunan ko na.

fastest speed that i had with NLEX is 200 kph on board by Zuk 1000 cc. Pero kapiraso lang. Nag-try lang ako dun sa stretch nung bridge going to San Fernando.

on car, my fastest was 115 kph.

Was it a stock BMW? Because the car is limited to 250 km/h or 155mph, the Ferrari Enzo tops out at 362km/h or 225 mph. Even if he started at 120km/h the hardest part is getting the car to actually reach that 364km/h as the car doesn't have the aerodynamics to keep it stable at that speed, at some point it will hit a wall of air.

Pwede nyang gawin yan sa NLEX. Makinis na at ang ganda ng NLEX ngayon.

Pero bakit di nahuli.......

Let's hope MNTC gets back to me on my email para yung misteryo sa likod eh mailantad na. ;-)

you may want to visit the wiki webpage again ... now it is saying

The highest speed recorded here is 364 km/h by a Sarao Jeep on April 17, 2008 along the stretch of San Fernando to Pulilan exit.

ano ba yan! hahahahaha

Yeah, I remember the German carmakers' "gentleman's agreement" restricting the top speed of their cars to 250 km/h or 155 mph. Only Porsche breaks this "rule" on a regular basis, their cars are basically unrestricted.

Even an E46 BMW M3 CSL will struggle to break 171 mph (275 km/h) with the limiter removed.

You would need a McLaren F1 to hit that kind of speed. When it broke the world speed record sometime in the 1990s it was clocked doing 394+ km/h on a really long oval.

I'm beginning to smell a hoax here.

In any case...galit ata talaga sya sa gasolina.

wow.. sa computer games ko lang nagagawa yang bilis na yan. record ko dun 110kph sa dodge colt 1973 4g32 saturn. parang wala na grip yung front tires pag 100 na. bat yung mga may ferrari kaya di magawa at bmw pa nakarecord dun.

btw, yung link po ng wiki may nag-edit. yung koche pinalitan ng "sarao jeep" kolokoy gumawa nun.

pero baka nga hoax lang.
