How fast have you gone in your Yaris.....

[bentjazz]

Hi Yarisworlders,

Just curious how fast you guys and gals have gone in your Yari?
Myself, I haven't gone past 65mph, but was thinking about speed this morning when I noticed the speedometer goes up to 130mph. And I thought to myself, "Could this car really go 130mph if need be?"
Just a thought....

Someone else had the same thought over 2 years ago.

Personally, about 150 kph.

Foot on the floor on the NJTPK for about five minutes got 106 mph in my ECHO. Thats the same engine anyways.

This may be a question with some folks coming back with unreal numbers IMHO. Personally I have gone 133mph by GPS, speed record of 129.9mph and 146+mph on the dyno when I hit the rev limiter in 5th.

[Sparcoboy]

personally did 181 kmh wich is 113mph. that's all a diesel yaris can do with a little headwind.

[oliveskate]

Almost 190 kph. I had to try :$

[SAV912]

Hit the speed limiter at ~117 GPS verified MPH.

Won't be doing that again any time soon.

[Viperoni]

About 105mph, didn't care to do any more.

[vten]

75mph and Im supercharged :burnrubber: :headbang:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

86 mph I think it was at the top end of the drag strip. lol

[eTiMaGo]

190km/h on the speedo, but that was with my old slightly over-sized wheels, might have been off.. Ought to be able to do over 200 now :D

[Motorhead6T5]

118 mph

[yariseggvvti]

before header, exhaust,K&N drop in intake and 8 bars only 101 mph. Now i can go up to 120 mph. The computer will shut down the fuel for you.

[DebbyM46227]

90 MPH. I didn't care to go any faster.

[1.5]

about 90-95 only on the interstate during a long trip.

[justjesus]

these cars are speed limited by the computer (at least in Cali).

In a legal environment (El Mirage), i topped her out to about 113-115.

They are speed limited globally to 118mph. Now your actual speedometer reading of course is also affected by your wheel/tire combo diameter. So for example if you are running low profile tires on 15" wheels you are actually going slower than what the speedo shows and vice versa if you change wheels or tires that put you larger than the stock height.

Just went and did a test run to be ready for the Land Speed Runs this weekend:

139.1 ... 10mph over my last record this summer...I am stoked :thumbup:

[1.5]

Sweet, what is the record for your class?

[david_827]

Damn almost 140mph...

[fnkngrv]

I hold it right now at 129.9mph. Hoping to break it with a 140+. Can't go above 145 though otherwise they won't count it and I will get put into probation status for excessive speed. You are allowed +-10mph and I am rated for 135 currently.

[fnkngrv]

Damn almost 140mph...

I was still climbing at the marker too.

[david_827]

I was still climbing at the marker too.

:eek::bow:

[Kar98]

Didn't have a chance uet to drive anywhere outside the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex, so 87 mph by GPS.

[fnkngrv]

well, here is proof in the pudding that the Yaris can move. I had actually been going faster and still slowly climbing, but was struck by a cross wind about 50ft from the marker which slowed me down some:

I guess it is all relative, but in my case, I have gone faster in my Yaris than I did in my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am.

[Tomatogrower]

lol..only like 90 mph

[jambo101]

I've done 75mph in my 08 Yaris sedan

[mrpj]

An indicated 96 mile/hour in a 1.4 Diesel 2010 Yaris. The speedometer read higher than that indicated by sat-nav, so probably just over 90 mile/hour. That was on a dual carriageway road and around 2am, virtually no other traffic, no cameras and definitely no police! ( limit on that particular road 70 mph)

Question on the calibration is whether or not the car has aftermarket wheel/tire combo and what brand tires and size?

[Fidelio]

70mph :thumbup:
