2 Nismos transmission failure after highway driving.

Is that 140 speed at "MPH" or kilometer/hr? Where in the Philippines could you drive at 140 mph? Even the expressways were pretty crowded. I am just wondering. Thanks.

south super highway is always terrible. Nlex (north) and sctex would be awesome specially during holidays. I guess you could search youtube for keywords: "funrun, nlex or sctex".
and I guess it's easier to get away with speeding over here than the states

that's mph. kmh would be 210-220ish. All people who have high performance cars usually take them to Nlex, Sctex and Skyway. It was also a holiday

and yeah, sometimes the roads are totally devoid of cars that going 250 kph/160ish mph (on my evo) would be "safe". Btw, I think the ones who have exotics (porsches, lambos, ferraris can go around 300 kph or 190-200ish mph)
