how fast?

[SLIK4]

just curious as to how fast people have gotten their little yaris to go. i havent pushed mine being brand new and haven just under 400 miles on it. also anybody know what there governed at? i know this isnt a sports car by any means i was just curious as to how brave some of u r

[CASTREX]

118 MPH

[eTiMaGo]

same, 190km/h which is 118MPH... car may have been able to go faster but ran out of breath...

[Pavel Olavich]

150 mph

[MrJester]

112mph so far

[BailOut]

I got all the way up to 65 MPH on the way back from Vegas, at the wife's insistence. I normally never go faster than 55 MPH but her freshly-operated-on leg was hurting.

[Typer73]

It cruises quite nicely at 94mph.

[gm830]

wow how many tickets have you all had? =P

[Slummy]

i've had mine up to 100 once or twice, but no faster.


150 mph

somehow i feel this is a little bit of an exaggeration.:eek:

[djino]

he probably meant kph

[eco]

Look at my avatar,pretty much nuff said,but I have seen 118mph,It actually cuts at 115mph,but you can get higher just from the momentum from going from 80-115 or a hill.

[PetersRedYaris]

150 mph

:laugh: :bellyroll: :laugh:

[Typer73]

One warning... but that was in my olds.

Think the cops around here can't believe that little thing is going that fast! (knock on wood, now I'll really have to keep it down on the way to work tomorrow!)

[Black Yaris]

150 mph

shut up Pavel, we all damn well know our car has a governer at 117 or 118 not 100% sure on the exact speed, but it is well under 150 mph

[Imagine]

I wrapped the needle... twice! I was being pushed by a Veyron. Down hill with a tail wind.

[Sabretooth]

Gotten mine to 115, Loved every moment of it, didnt think it could go any more, and it still had some push.

I agree that the car cruises really nice at about 95mph, little unstable any higher.

[Astroman]

G/F got it up to 130mph once (downhill of course) but have hit the limiter at least a dozen times. I do a lot of freeway driving over a long distance. I have 17" wheels, tanabe strut tower bar, and megan racing mid and rear support bars, and even doing over 100mph uphill on curves it was solid. Can't wait to see how it handles with the spring and strut upgrades.

[blacksan]

One morning (about 04:15) I was on my way home from work on the Interstate just jamming to some good 80's music when I just threw caution to the wind. The next thing I knew the needle swung past 70 (briefly) and if I didn't immediately turn back my life would spiral down a bottomless abyss of dis pare. I could see my future in the blur of the broken center line. The next step would be smoking, and drinking beer.:eek:

[Turbo&Auto]

I banged off the TSL once, thats all I needed. No need to push 100+mph with this car, its scary enough at 65 with a strong gust of wind :lol:

[Nutzoids]

I don't like going over 80...YET!

:evil:

[Typer73]

Good 80's music? Isn't that an oxymoron?

[uncleyaris]

now we're talkin. I'm having a flashback of a flock of seagulls

[blacksan]

now we're talkin. I'm having a flashback of a flock of seagulls

I Ran

I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You're slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I'm floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

:headbang:

[blacksan]

Fastest I've been is 55 mph. Gas is 3.50 U.S. 55 is plenty fast, 'specially when I filled up last week at 3.09. Tho, I still get passed by dualies hauling campers at 85 mph -- clearly richer than I.

I still can't figure it out. I travel an Interstate during my commute to work and people are blowing past me like I am in low gear. How do they afford to run there big ass SUV's like that all week long?

[blacksan]

Oh and gas will get up to 4 bucks.

I think you are right, but I really hop we are both wrong.:frown:

[blacksan]

And if you just jump the income to 25,000, that comes close to 100 million people that spend a big chunk of change on gasoline. FYI, for all those people out there that think we should be a lot better off than we are. :) Our car culture is definitely headed for some kind of wall.

On my way to work I see all kinds of big ass pickups parked in folks yards with for sale signs on them. I never could figure out why folks buy F350, Diesel, Super Duty, 4X4 pickups and never haul anything other then groceries in the back.:iono:

[Slummy]

spkrman, gotta love that blowoff valve p-tssh.

nice video, too!

Hey, when it comes to speed, I'd never lie....I often race 2007 Corvettes, and Vipers...never lost a race yet! ...You just have to know how to drive...that's all...

[the_boss]

wow race a vipers and a corvettes...:respekt:

LOL!, Ah, good 'ol Pavel! I've missed the entertainment! Where ya been? :laugh:

Either that's a very funny joke, or someone's playing Speed Racer all by himself. :wink:

[lostmind]

I raced an 07 vette in my STi... I lost. :(

[Katana]

190km/h...

[YarisPR]

Mine gets to 118mph and then drops back to 100(ECU control) But Yarii really take a lot of ground to reach 118mph haha its kinda funny. Maybe if I get rid of the 18's. But I really don't find fun goin that fast in a Yaris just on lowering springs and no other suspension upgrade. Even when mine sits really stable at 118 mph because of the 18's.

When I win the lotto I am going to push mine out of the back of a C 130 to obtain the world record top speed for a Yaris.:biggrin: On a serious note considering speed odometer error in every vehicle I have a way of checking it for =,- 1 MPH true accuracy. When the opportunity comes available I will post.

You'd probably hit the 118mph cut-out noticably more quickly on stock wheels, since the wider foot-print adds significant wind drag. But, I agree, I'd also trade-off a slow top-end for better braking and quicker response.

129mph... in a school zone no less.

I'll just have to save $500 bucks and try it again and let a Cop pull me over and tell me my real speed :biggrin:
