Whats our max speed?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I got up to 103mph (165.7 km/h) this past Sunday evening, but even that was a feat. I expected for it to be a little easier, to be honest. But I had a custom axleback fabricated yesterday (it looks good), so I'm sure that will help with the high end.

Botchilah, why would you rev that high in 4th gear? Wouldn't that be putting lots of stress on the engine? I didn't even know it was possible to achieve 170km/h in 4th.

I have personally seen a Yaris 3dr HB, hit 185..(MPH that is). but it was modded to hell, he put his video up on youtube I think, I will see if I can find the link.

185mph on a Yaris?

I don't even think the car body would be able to withstand such a speed.

El Mirage! I, trying to be a responsible young adult, drove the distance to get to El Mirage. The dry lake bed. NO SPEED LIMIT. Paid my fee to get in. My friend took his EVO X. Just the two of us there! It was pretty cool. I took mine to the max, and had PLENTY of land left. I hit about 115 or so, i forget. In fourth gear. Didn't bother with 5th, as it's speed limited. I will try to find pics and video
