how fast?

[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!

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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]

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.

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

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.
