Holy Headwind batman

A good tool for the future is google. Just type in convert XXXkm to mi or vice versa ;-). But you're right on at about 90.

I had an xA (same motor and transmission) that I beat up in the USA. I drove from SF to LA (leaving at 2.00AM for a 400 mile trip) and maintained a steady 110MPH throughout except for the dangerous areas (grapevine mountain pass as well as 580/5 mountains). The car had no problems at all and handled like a champ. I was expecting to overheat at least once due to the high revs, but it didn't happen. I regularly do trips out here in Thailand that take about 40mins to 1.25 hours, and it's on an elevated highway which is SUPER smooth. I honestly just hold down the gas pedal for the entire trip. I average 180-190. . . I don't know it will eventually kill the car (possibly me, but I slow down for absolutely any and everything), but man, so far it's been indestructible. What's nice is that the major roads here work like an autobahn, and people don't sit in the fast lane; it's for passing only. It's actually much easier to get a ticket for driving in the fast lane than it is for speeding. It's nice because fast cars keep to their side of the road and slower ones almost ALWAYS move over.

FSANE, not to preach, because I obviously speed as well, but a 30-40 MPH wind is fairly dangerous. Crosswinds can pick up at anytime, and the wind sometimes has a mind of it's own. Please be careful. 74MPH with a 40MPH headwind can easily turn into a 40MPH crosswind which would EASILY blow the Yaris into the next lane. Remember that no matter how good your suspension is, high speeds inherently produce lift which make the car handle even lighter. Wind just adds to that. . . I'm not judging you for it, just saying (from experience) to be cautious and not underestimate the wind.
