Atlanta Lamborghini dealer Ed Bolian used a souped up a 2004 Mercedes to speed into the record books October 20
Midtown Manhattan to Redondo Beach: Bolian and two friends took the classic route first taken in the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash of the 1970s
Bolian's time of 28 hours 50 minutes beats the previous record set by Alex Roy in 2006 when he made the trip in 31 hours 4 minutes by over two hours
With a distance of 2,813.7 miles, Bolian and his two-man team did the Cannonball Run at an average of 98 miles per hour

Cannot link from phone...but if not wrong previous guy do in 6 series...that he fitted with special fuel tank....is a very amusing story if can find it. New record average speed of 160 km/h very impressive

We can do a similar "dua bao run"aka "big canon".. Tuas to Changi in 10 minutes.. 

 

AYE-ECP is 41km, to finish in 10 mins, you need to average 240km/h..

if you do, you'll beat current record holder LKY, who can do it in 20mins.

will the pussy-wagon lead the convoy?  (joking)

 

yes, this a good idea, but cannot run too fast like the original cannonball, else vomit till windscreen blurred!!

previous one was in an E39 M5. Alex Roy.

When was younger, drove from KL to Singapore , from Sungei Besi Toll to Malaysia Customs 2nd Link in 1 hour 25 minutes

 

A friend did it in 1 hr 15 mins

 

don't think these times are achievable now with the much heavier traffic on the NS highway

Still possible.. Weekdays after 10pm, NSHW is quite free of traffic.. I did once from Melaka toll to 2nd Link in about 1.5hours. Averaging about 160km/h.. I could go faster cos there was virtually no traffic, but it's late at night and not wise to go too fast.

The equivalent Cannonball Run here should be from SG to Bangkok. Anyone game for it???

This is a fantastic read

Still possible on the right day and time (and with the right car of course).

 

I recently did 2hr hours flat including smoke and pee break at Ayer Keroh, from JB immigration exit to Sungai Besi toll. Left at 5am arrived at 7am on a weekday so there was morning traffic after seremban.

And here's the story of the record breaker

Hv been doing the home (Bukit Timah) to Sungei Bersi drive in just under 2 hours the last 6 trips. 4.4L and a V8 helps too.

2813miles for Cannonball.

convert to km = 4527km

Roughly the distance from Singapore to Bhutan (next to Nepal),

 

I rather make a shorter drive to Guangzhuo/Shenzhen and spend some nights at Chiang Ping to hit the same mileage

Round trip from SG to Chiang Mai should be just about nice. But the 4 border crossing is gonna kill ya..
