Guys i had bought a book "Car Plus" magazine, Dec 2003. Hong Kong magazine.
The magazine did a road test on the our 8, on page 136.
the magazine found that "SPEED CUT" occurs when they did exceeding cornerings. it make believe that the same technology is used for the high RPM the car reached at high speed.
according to the magazine, it is adviserble to turn off your dsc (not sure whether its the dsc that control the speed cut for corners) when u are racing.
may be we can do a test high speed highway run with DSC off. see if u still get any speed cut.

what i have to said is do not buy car that under declare althought is cheaper n the car manufacturing date is new...if one day u'r unlucky and u get caught then ur car will be inpounded and u got nothing at the end of the day.

Just went to KL over the weekend - didn't see any other 8s on the road. Did see a silver veilside kitted 350z with the andrew bacarrat rims parking in front of Equitorial Hotel - fierce!
Lots of City and Vios tailgating/overtook me!
I was cruising at 120 - 130 most of the way (missus in the car, so...
