I saw your Post Garm.. hehe...

IF we are talking TOP speed(fastest KM/h or MP/H)
The speed limiter came on at 199.
It took a LONG time to get there.
It was on a stretch of highway that had been closed for major road construction that connected to small communities. not a chance I would have tried it otherwise.

I don't go past 120 KM/HR - in BC excessive speeding ticket cost $383 CANADIAN and driver's penalty invoicing from just that 1 ticket cost $320 CANADIAN - for the next 3 years = $1343 CANADIAN for 1 offence (more invoicing - of course if you speed more)

My bone stock (as far as engine goes) Yaris 1.5l Liftback?

I've squeezed it to 210kph/130mph on the speedometer, on 195/60-15's which are 5-10% larger than the stock tires so I was actually going about 135-140mph.

And before anyone claims the speed limiter would prevent that? One click on the e-brake so the light turns on on the dash shuts that off, but doesn't actually apply any braking. With the e-brake fully disengaged, yeah, the limiter kicks in harsh. One click up? Suddenly it's gone on my '07.

The one click thing doesn't work. I've tried it, mine is an 07 as well, it was bone stock when i tried it.

Thanks for the enticement, now I have to put that theory to the test.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard. Just pull the ABS fuse (disables traction control), jack the car up on its front wheels and slowly go up to the rev limit in 5th gear. :33


Fastest I've ever gone in any car was 165 MPH (115 over the limit) but those days are behind me.

Isn't florida state highways normal traffic speed around 90 mph i heard??
Florida highways can be fast, but then they can also literally stop on a dime, so you have to be really careful. I hit 100 once and was still being passed.

Aww, but Garm you are using your brains. Top speed has nothing to do with that type of reality.

I got it up to 110 maxing out 4th gear then shifted into 5th and took it to around 115-117 and was around 5500-5600 rpm so mabey could hit 125 max if no speed limiter . My modds then were all basic bolt-ons

Got a nasty ticket doing 85. I didn't notice that I was going that fast. Really I didn't. There have been a number of occasions when I caught myself going way over the speed limit without intentionally doing it. I have no doubt this car is capable of considerably more without noticeable strain.

done the 115-16 thing twice on the interstate in Maine...took a while to get there like others have noted and that was bone stock...Garm raises valid points though
