Okay, Okay. I'm going to make a video right now, just for you PK . I'll post it later tonight or tomorrow. God I hope my driving backs up my statements. lol

well i got to see this.. u do 7.9 atleast on stock ill applaud you..,..and im always focused. its just you rattled me with ur 7 second range.lolz..but i really hope you can do it so i can say my car can do under 8 sec 0-97 kms per hr.

oh btw ralliart it an 05..great car to drive although torque spin is whats youll get most of the time..its a 7.5 sec 0-100km.

Maybe tape the cam to your hat? It would shake too much with it attached to the pass seat I suppose. BTW I live just down the road from New England Dragway. I ran a '67 396 chevelle and a vega v8 in the late 70's. 0-100 in 12 seconds on the vega and the motor ran like crap. BTW new ralliart are heavy pigs. yea I am old - but prob not as old as Saildesign or YarisHilton

Well I've let everyone down lol, right at 8 seconds. The road was at a slight incline. Here's the link, but since I just posted it I don't know if you can watch it yet. If not, just keep checking back.

Still raining. Whatsup with this new england weather? Never seen it like this! My new yokohomas suck off the line even compared to my snows I just took off =( So I gotta work on the launch now where i didnt have a prob B4.

I just saw someones got a stocker stick yaris running 7's with vid on youtube right now.

Very plausible, as I was going up hill and ran almost 8 sec. flat. It's just weird to me that we have to convince people of this lol. If you have a Yaris you should know this.

The fastest I have ever seen in my friend's manual Yaris sedan on his dash hawk was 10.1. The fastest I have gotten in my car with it is 5.8, so it seems accurate enough.

[Jeemee]

PK no offense but you asked for a video so I went out and made a video for you to watch and see. I use am app on my phone that uses the GPS and accelerometers to time it. Seems accurate as it is right with my video. On that run I posted it declared I ran 8.05 second 0-60. I honestly feel no need to further prove myself to anyone as I claimed one thing, got called a liar, posted a video of me doing it and still get called a liar. I'm sorry you can't run a 10 sec 0-60, I really am, but I can. Believe it or not, I dooont care.

[Jeemee]

Here are my results: (Notice the beep as soon as I hit 60 for accuracy's sake)

(My best)
Max Accel - 0.57 gs
Max Dist - 1320.83 ft
Max Velocity - 88.89mph
Max Power - 89 whp (given the car weighs 2300lbs)

60' - 2.58 secs
330' - 6.92 secs
1/8 - 10.47s @ 70.07
1000' - 13.55 secs
1/4 - 16.12 @ 88.88 mph

0-10 mph - 0.80 secs
0-20 mph - 1.66 secs
0-30 mph - 2.71 secs
0-40 mph - 4.33 secs
0-50 mph - 6.02 secs
0-60 mph - 7.85 secs
0-70 mph - 10.45 secs
0-80 mph - 13.32 secs

I wish we were closer to each other as we could collaborate together on this one lol

[marcus]

weird ..even the guy with supercharger barely did 8 secs on 0-60 mph

Me thinks the throttle response all depends on how the ECU reads your driving habits. I am not at all dissatisfied. But for those who are here is something I spotted. It is a drive by wire tensioner and tightens the wire (red) that goes from your ecu to your throttle. This should tighten the wire and thus reduce throttle response lag.
Nubes beware! I am told it takes expert knowledge to properly install one of these.

[bronsin]

Now that the weather is really warm guess what? The throttle lag is almost non existant and the horrible droning of the exhaust system on acceleration is pretty much gone too. I have a bad feeling it will return when it gets colder later in the year...

Im with ya bro. I have an 09, and Ive been driving for some time myself in all kinds of different situations with cars and bikes. The car can do what you say. Its the drivers that argue it wont that cant. Nice Launch, and nice shift to 2nd. Thats where you pull the times.

problem: warm up car for 5 minutes, dash still shows "cool" display. i drive it and from 0-10, the gas pedal has sluggish response, almost like the fuel injector is dirty, but once it's warmed up, problem is gone, i also thought it might have been the oil i used since once warmed up - problem is gone. so upgraded to Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 synthetic but same issue. just prior to changing oil to synthetic, i added coolant and went over the max - could going over the max cause this or maybe the type of coolant i used, coolant is pinkish, orange-ish color and definitely not green or blue.

now i'm lost, if i just need to take my coolant down below max or if i have a throttle issue.

again, it responds but when i gas - sometimes the rpm goes down and i try again until the car actually moves. this only happens in the 1st 15 minutes after starting car, once engine is warm - no issues
