HOW FAST HAVE YOU GOT YOUR YARIS TO GO

A while ago I reached 100MPH and I remember that downhill I once got close to 110MPH.
Remember the small engine I have ;)

This kinda hurts the MPG, I got 36 back then, but it was never worse than 33 :D

Lemme tell ya about MPG at high speeds. When I ran last year for the runs I did 13 passes at WOT through the power band up to 6k and after the total combined 20.5 miles I actually avg'ed still just shy of 30mpg with the bulk of the time near redline and over 100mph. I was pretty stoked. This year with my tune and VP100 racing gas I burned through 5 gallons on only 6 passes which only makes 9 miles however I had a more aggressive tune. I missed the 29+mpg especially when I spent 15 bucks a gallon for the VP100

I don't even wanna do the math on this year's runs to figure out mpg...lol

I will be intrigued to see how much fuel I burn next summer attempting 175mph in the mile. I can tell you that my friend with his 1200hp Nissan sr20 build burns 4.5 gals per 1.5 mile run on his 200+ mph passes. Guess I better dig deep just to start the damned engine!

i hit 195 km in 5th gear at 6rpm think it could hit 200km ...but road was little to up and down and yaris likes to go airborne...lol

I have 07 yaris hatchback. Took it max to 105mph with standard and no performance.

If you ease into it, these cars can hit 112-115. Only on open straight roads, yes it's dangerous but what is life without danger? Lame, that's what.

TTR Toyota Yaris Speed Record 147mph

The car currently tops out around 158mph on the dyno. I didn't have time to upgrade my injectors before the event which sucks because I am maxing out my current ones by 5200rpm. I did take the car out one last time after the event to see and I did break 150mp by 1.8 miles....only 3/10ths of a mile away! Next summer will be shooting for 175mph in the mile itself and 185-190mph in the 1.5. The thing to remember that this is a sanctioned event in a relatively safe environment.

114 mph racing a 911. Lol well more like him making fun of me for even trying

115 limited by the ecu.

Yaris SE MT on TEIN S-Techs (at the time).

And definitely NO, the Yaris is NOT "stable above 90 MPH." The front springs are 10% stiffer on the SE. The shocks are the unchanged.

With an unnecessarily high stock ride height, high engine position, high battery location, high seating position, high roofline (yet with no legroom and a barely adjustable non-telescoping steering wheel), short front control arms, archaic transverse torsion beam rear suspension with NO anti-roll bar, garbage all-season no-traction constantly chirping Turanzas, delayed electronic assist steering (with less assist, yet lower steering ratio on the SE), and 70% of the vehicle's weight over the two front wheels, and no major changes since 2005, the (2012) stock Yaris is hardly "stable" at anything above 40.

You're joking!
Right Juicy?

Nice threads about speed and how we must drive the wheels off this model. I've gotten mine '13 up to 80mph. To my home to work, there's no good stretch to get mine past the posted highway speeds! My mods as far as performance wise is on the back burner. Searching for a place to live IS way more important!!

You're*

I know my impressions regarding the car differ from some but definitely not all people on this forum, although it's probably echoed (ahem) by every Yaris owner who's NOT on this forum. You're right, the Yaris isn't my flavor. But it was cheap and starts up every time - except the times when it doesn't start. But it has always started the SECOND time cranking.

I'll add that the car started experiencing clutch judder at around 4000 miles. Really, Toyota? With only 103 ft/lbs. (claimed @ 4200 rpm) of torque, and essentially nonexistent torque at ~1500 rpm, how cheap does a clutch plate have to be for this to happen on a new car that only weighs 2300 lbs?

Still looks better than a Fit, though. And I do like the gunmetal sparkly-gray SE wheels.

No, those are the facts. It's possible that Toyota thought the car was going to be driven by ushanka-wearing orangutans; You have to be shorter than 5'10" as per the up-close pedals, lack of legroom and non-telescoping steering wheel, with the just-out-of-reach notchy long-throw shifter, but with enough headroom to be wearing two cats on your head even with the high seat.

I am almost 6'3" and drive it fine and comfortably. As for the stability over 90 mph no econobox is designed to be stable over those speeds. He'll plenty of midrange and even a couple luxury sedans I have driven were a bit iffy over 85. It doesn't take a lot of modifications to make the car stable over those speeds. I feel the car is perfectly fine even at 120+ until around 126 before it felt floaty. Adding the underpanel kit fixes the issues pretty well since it causes the chassis to suck to the tarmac.

Good info how fast this car can go but where I live. There's no good stretch to get it up past 100. The fastest I've gotten my '13 is 80. I wouldn't mind take it to a drag strip and see what it can do as far as speed is concerned.

I don't think the strip will be long enough...

Maybe a landing strip....ending near a hill

At least stock anyway

[bairjo]

I travel 70 miles each day and move along at 80mph for about half of that...handles great.

However, all I can say to these dudes on the links below...go for it man!

I've been faster through the turns at Bristol than in my Yaris, although, that was in a Petty driving experience when I did 12 laps. In the 90's, 92 was what I glanced at once, but probably around 96 for me.

[JudgeM]

I did 180km/h on mine. Felt like it could do more but I have stupid JDM 180km/h limiter.
