[QUOTE="ethanphoon592, post: 946870, member: 13217"] Wirafly, To tell you the truth, Proton probably played a cheating game since the first day, Some of my friends who test drove the G2 for the very first time when they first launch the car at Tg.Malim, close event only for all sales and service dealers, the rev cut were at 8K rpm, and the power was very different back then, then some of them when to actually purchase the car because of the first impression that the car gave, but sad to say once their cars were delivered it was nothing like the ones that they drove back then, and the newer rev cut was at 6.5k, so they were definately pissed off, then after all the recalls that were done lately, the newer batch of G2 have 7k rev cuts, if i'm not mistaken, an insider did mention that from next year onwards the cars will be running on a different ECU again and it will have better response.
