Enough of calling BS on other people's stories....my personal record is 80mph in the 2.7L 4 banger truck. Yes, it's Toyota Tacoma, and for a truck it doesn't have a lot of low end, but it pulls right to the redline. The higher it revved the harder it shoved me into the seat. It wasn't fast, really (it has 159hp and 180ft-lb of torque) but I was expecting the power to drop off when the revs got high.

That's nothing, you know my mum's Civic? Well today I got a Paul Walker Turbo Booster Performance Supercharger Mega-Fast kit. Boosts the power to around about a million brake horsepower, did 400mph in YOUR MUM seconds, could have gone faster though, a sheep got in my way. Darn animals.

I forget the day last week but when I took my brother shopping, I went about 90 (it might have been a little less) around a corner on the freeway and boy did I feel the massive understeer (then again, my car only has Premium Ride suspension).
On a random note, I want to replace that middle emergency blinker button with a "NawZ" button so I can go 1,000 MPH in my car and blow the tires clean off the wheels.

I was a little disappointed at first because it only has an inline 4, but you're definitely right about it being a nice truck - it's a nice cruiser, handles well, engine has a great powerband, and it's quiet at highway speeds. Have you driven a Tacoma with an inline 4?

I did 125 coming home from school today because there's this one chick (she drives a Jetta) who kept tailgating me. When she was trying to overtake, I was in fifth gear, switched down to 4th, back to fifth, then sixth! I never saw her after. My fastest one so far.

What year was your truck? Because the line4 in my Tacoma definitely pulls at higher rpm. It's nothing to compare to a sports car, but it will move if you push it. And although it's supposed to be designed as a truck motor and revs low it still has the "rev me high for power" attitude.
Heh being underage the fastest I've driven was 100 kmh (what is that, 70 mph?) in my grandads Volga in Russia otherwise the fastest I've been in a car was 160 mph in my dad's CLK. The fastest car I've been in is a SLR, 100 mph and was definately the fastest 0-100 sprint I've ever been in.

That is a shot of your Mustang from the rear?
You knew this was coming anyways. I'm looking at both pictures and the first picture most certainly depicts a V6 Deluxe Premium 40th. The necessity to change the badge, rims, and hood is null and void. The hood is not lighter than a GT's, the rims do not allow for the wider rubber that the GT needs to simply have traction, and in the second picture the hood looks to have a cowl. Maybe you can tell me what is on the hood?
Now, I'm not trying to be an ass at all but can you get a picture from the right or left rear vantage points so that I can see not only the rear end but the side of the car? The whole swap of components makes zero sense at all. There's no shame in owning a V6 Mustang and we wont disown you if you don't have a GT. I just see clear differences between both that any stang lover would notice right off the bat.
The Diabetic
Apr 24, 2007, 6:27 PM
Got the hood for free, weighed them and the v6 hood was *marginally lighter and easier to see with. You have to admit the non-functional hood is annoying to try and drive with. It was an easy install to do. I really dont know what to tell you about the wheels, I bought it like that.
Not trying to be an ass, but im not taking anymore pictures. (its really annoying to go outside take a picture and resize the pictures from 4000x3000 to 450x375 and stuff) I dont think i should have to prove myself here.

You would need a lot of power to get into 6th gear in an RX-8, a lot more. Most vehicles will not achieve top speed in overdrive even with a large increase in power.

May 09, 2007, 7:25 PM
The top speed in an RX-8 is achieved in 4th gear and will hold it in 5th IF you're at the limit already. It won't accelerate in 5th to top speed.
I still find it funny that people who haven't posted here before don't read the older posts first. They continue to claim speeds that you would have to hold long enough to register on the speedometer with some serious accuracy. It sounds like BS to me... lol

You may have gone that fast but to sit here and tell us that you were driving a car that is unstable at that speed while going downhill (yes, I know it is... all cars like that are unstable downhill) but no, I don't believe that you could see the needle sitting on 124.

Were you actualy driving it that fast or falling from a hill in it?
If driving, I will call some BS on this one, since the Yaris tires are only S rated = safe up to speeds of 112mph, also the specs on the yaris cars say that max speed is 109 with all that power of a 106hp 1.5L
but if you were falling, terminal velocity is about 120mph, so bull***** there!

The top speed in an RX-8 is achieved in 4th gear and will hold it in 5th IF you're at the limit already. It won't accelerate in 5th to top speed.
How do you know that? I'm not challenging you, I'm just wondering if you've ever maxed out an RX-8.

Sure I will. You're full of ****. You may have gone that fast but to sit here and tell us that you were driving a car that is unstable at that speed while going downhill (yes, I know it is... all cars like that are unstable downhill) but no, I don't believe that you could see the needle sitting on 124.
I don't understand what you mean. How long do you have to maintain the speed for to claim the speed.
Also the Totota Yaris has a digital display, so you do not have the needle sitting on 124 mph, but you see the readout with 124 mph written on it.
Were you actualy driving it that fast or falling from a hill in it?
If driving, I will call some BS on this one, since the Yaris tires are only S rated = safe up to speeds of 112mph, also the specs on the yaris cars say that max speed is 109 with all that power of a 106hp 1.5L
but if you were falling, terminal velocity is about 120mph, so bull***** there!
The car will easily do 110 mph on the flat. I have no idea what sort of tyres are on the car. I just go with whatever is recommended by the mechanic. In addition I think that safety ratings are often under-estimated to be safer. The lifeboats on the Titanic were tested to be able to hold more people they were actually designed to take?
BS...easy call.
I wanted to see how many of you would believe me in claiming to have done 124 mph in a 1.3L Toyota Yaris. I really did do 124 mph, and yes the car is very unstable at that speed but it was on a stretch of dual-carriageway, which is pretty straight, although there is a bit of a corner towards the end of the hill.
I have been thinking lately how I would like to buy something a bit faster, maybe even a Yaris SR, I mean the new one with the 1.8L engine. I can't think of any other car that I would particularly like within a reasonable price range.

Gosh you naughty irresponsable people you!!! :eek:
Speed kills you know.
But I admit its fun;
Digitalchip Golf V R32 245km/h DSG gear box in Sport mode, and still accelerating (I bottled out when the front started going light, but was otherwise a rock steady ride). Scared the hell out of the Audi RS4 in front though, as he hit the wall at 250 Km/h, I do not thanks to the chip.

i may be wrong but as far as i know no car will accelerate to sop speed in the highest gear,

New top speed achieved with my father..
CAR:Alfa Romeo 98's model 156 1.6 twin spark with 120 hp,0-100 in 10.5 secs,top speed 200km/h(manufacture specs..)
Conditions:Good weather in a good road without big corners(rare)and fast straights..
This happened when i was returning home with my father and my dad punch it in a big straight..The tachometer showed 230km/h and i was suprised for what i saw..It sounds a little weird to me..I don't know because the manufacturer specs are saying top speed 200km/h..

How is that BS? I said around 180kmph, and so that's about 112mph.
Prove it? Meet me in Dubai over in the summer and I'll show you ;)
Eh...oops...sorry! I hate doing math.:o

Yeah they will, it's just that some cars have a top gear which is really high (overide) and used for motorway cruising and economy, in these cases top speed is usually reached in fourth or fifth, depending

nahh, i think you're safe, besides the Enterprise is rated up to warp 9.5That's in the later models. The NCC-1701 was rated to warp factor 6 with emergency capabilities to factor 8 for short periods of time... I'm a Trekker but I hate anything other than the original.
How do you know that? I'm not challenging you, I'm just wondering if you've ever maxed out an RX-8.Yeah, on the 8 freeway in Dago the last time I was in Cali, about 3 months ago. It had a hard time getting there though.
168 in a friend's Viper GTS..... good stuff.I'm gonna have to wonder on that one because unlike the Yaris, the Viper has analog guages. You paid enough attention in a Viper, at almost 170, to see that it was right on 168? Whatever...
i may be wrong but as far as i know no car will accelerate to sop speed in the highest gear,There are 2 cars that I know of with the right gearing and enough torque to tach out in 6th gear... guess... lol (They're both American, it should be easy now)
Also the Totota Yaris has a digital display, so you do not have the needle sitting on 124 mph, but you see the readout with 124 mph written on it.
I didn't know it had a digital speedo. In that case I very much apologize.
Yeah they will, it's just that some cars have a top gear which is really high (overide) and used for motorway cruising and economy, in these cases top speed is usually reached in fourth or fifth, dependingThat was a major contradiction! lol... They will but they won't? Which is it? lol... Do you by chance understand gearing and how it works?
