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

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

190km/h...

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.

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.
