The biggest problem that the Yaris faces with top speed is frontal area. It's a tall car and even though it's egg-shaped, the total frontal surface of a body is a major factor in determining its top speed. Even if you got a bonkers overdrive ratio (like 0.6:1) for 5th gear, our 100 little bronies can't cope with the aero issues beyond a certain speed.
Here's a more in-depth evaluation of the ideas. Last edited by CrankyOldMan; 05-12-2012 at 09:04 AM. |
