i'm thinking of getting a sticker for my white hatch...

"fried or scrambled?"

If you think that's bad you should come drive my commute with me some time. Early on my way home I come to a stop sign at the top of a 7% grade where I turn right onto a 6% grade for a few miles.

You should see how long it takes a hypermiler to accelerate from a stop up to the speed limit of 50 MPH in those conditions.

I was in OfficeDepot the other day and saw a "Bumper Sticker Kit"! Just make it. I would use an Epson with durabrite or claria inks since they do not fade or wash off. I might make a "Get YarAss in Gear!" sticker!

Actually I could make it for you and just mail it to you, as I have the right printer. Lemme know.

WOW.....

davembfan · 06-08-2007, 11:15 AM

Mine actually got to 110 it made it pretty quick, it actually downsifted while i was going 95 and made it to 100 in a matter of seconds. maybe it was a fluke?

nqd · 06-08-2007, 12:48 PM

Blenjar · 06-08-2007, 12:50 PM

Try racing fuel (100 octane), better motor oil (Eneos 5-30, 0-50)...

Do something... do something..

LOL!

YarisPR · 06-08-2007, 04:08 PM

Thats weird I my sedan reaches 100mph very easily but from 105-118mph its a long time riding on 18's. Last Sunday a friend on mine lend me son 15s and It reached 118 a lot quicker than with 18's (duhh) but don't be afraid to floor it all the way you need to do this to go over 100 unless u r goin downhill

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 06-08-2007, 04:16 PM

last weekend on the GSP coming home i was between 80 and 100 the whole time. with the a/c on and speeding i still managed 37 mpg.....

Pars · 06-09-2007, 11:29 PM

My manual 5dr liftback gets up to 100mph very quickly. If I want to show some attitude, I might downshift into 4th just to show the bully's in the fast lane that I deserve a spot.

80 to 90 mph seems to be the sweet spot when factoring noise level, but 100mph isn't a big deal on the engine. Perhaps the Automatic's are different

Yaris Revenge · 06-11-2007, 09:23 AM

If it makes you feel any better, I had an S-10 Blazer with a 2.8l that would only do 70 mph on level ground. That's with my foot buried in the floorboard. They sucked SO bad.

I hit 85 once, downhill, with a tail wind, and 1/4 tankful of gas onboard.

Oh, I passed that last week.

When I ran into Geordi Laforge the other day at Kinkos he told me that he thought he saw my Yaris tailing the U.S.S. Enterprise going Warp 5.

Wow. Crazy.

driver centric · 06-11-2007, 08:21 PM

Wow, back to back attempts to drive over 100 mph (probably on public roads) and another thread about wanting to pull the e-brake while going 80. You're on a roll dude...
