Top Speed

[xTiGeRx]

210km/hr :D

1ZZ-FE with the below mentioned mods.

Oh, and with both back windows opened, as a mate had a little too much to drink and was letting it all go out the window. =)

Was staying with a RX-7 Series 4 or 5.

I'm sure he could've just left me, but i was surprise he let me overtake him. he was doing like 190 or something. :)

Hadn't reached redline or anything...but my exit was coming up. *DAMN IT!*

The Stivo is said to top speed at 215km/hr. Mine said 185km/hr. But i broke 200. So i reckon the Stivo would go heaps better then. What do you ppl reckon? 230-250km/hr in a Stivo?

;)

[stoopid head]

hey

the sportivo should be good for 220km/h easy.

i played around with a wrx on the weekend, needless to say i got beaten, however i got to 180 in 4th and 200 in 5th, we kept neck and neck from 120 to 160 when i hit lift in 4th. there where 3 ppl in his car and me and a mate in mine.

[xTiGeRx]

so a stock stivo can't beat a stock wrx?

[stoopid head]

u just cant beat a hair dryer

[magicmayhem]

Yes if only u can shed 200kgs off the c sportivo it will beat the WRX ;)

[illuminati]

not much u can do to drop wieght, a carbon fibre hood is only -10kgs. but it would b sweet to get the car to under 1ton. it would handle and go so quik. but u would need to strip inerior.

[rhaines]

177mph Audi S4 with few toys, private track honest guv...

[sharmz]

ahh 160kmph in the celica *embarrased* lol

the speedo says it goes to 260 and ive seen avi's of people pulling it off. i think its limited to 240 is some models...not sure

[xTiGeRx]

Where can we see these avi's?

sounds interesting

[lucio_libre]

I reached top speed in 4th on the way to work, it was about 175-180, couldnt see properly i was too busy looking at the road, but it felt pretty good, smooth as silk, the car should easily do 220 as toyota claims, maybe even more.

go chomped by an integra type r today. on the motorway.

pulled away..and just kept pulling :(

I WANT MY STIVO ALREADY!!!!

go chomped by an integra type r today.

Had a brief run with a Type R a couple of weeks ago. I had to stop to let a tipper out onto the road from a construction site (divided 4 lane road). The Type R came up and stopped behind me. I took off slowly and checked the rear view mirror and the Type R jumped into the right hand obviously expecting to blast straight past. 1st, 2nd, 3rd into 4th and had to back off because of traffic - he couldn't get past, just sat there about 1 car length back. I looked across at his mate in the passenger seat and had a chuckle. I don't think they expected that. He didn't want to follow me up the inside lane after that.

Hope that evens the score for you.

[xTiGeRx]

New Type R or old Type R?

What's the old Type R's power anyways? 147kw?

[rjt]

New Type R or old Type R?

Old.

Glad he had a passenger and i didn't get petrol that morning though.

[xTiGeRx]

What!

Was it stock?

So, even the Stivo can't beat an old Type R?

[srr]

Sorry to disappoint you, but I think type-r (old or new) just have a little bit of edge against the sportivo. But i think its a driver race. Depends on how well you shift and launch.

Around the curve, I think type-r handles better too. (talking abt stock ofcos)

But then if you beat one... then that means you will have a bigger grin on ur face :)

Sorry to disappoint you, but I think type-r (old or new) just have a little bit of edge against the sportivo.

Yeah, I'd say they'd have the edge. That's why I was glad there was 2 in the TypeR and my tank was on Empty. Weight kills the performance. Probably caught him a bit off guard as well. I'm still taking the win though. ;)

[Ilivfor6]

There's no shame to just being edged out by the old type-r. They are made for one purpose... GO FAST. They have no real comfort as most things are thrown out to save weight. And were much more expensive.

My brother has the new Integra R and my stivo stays pretty close. He only really pulls away at launch. When I hit lift it is pretty even, neither has the advantage. He paid $45K for his, I only paid $30K.

With the TRD CAI, muffler and then Unichip I am in the process of organising plus the whiteline suspension package he is toast and I still have $10K in change. :P :P

And that's what I am talking about. VALUE FOR MONEY!!!

Although in Aus it is not the real type R, the overseas model has 167kw :( :(

[xTiGeRx]

Yeah, we always get the CRAP stuff!

always detuned and not as good!

[lucio_libre]

Yeah, we always get the CRAP stuff!

The reason for that is because we have Crap fuel, in Japan they have 100ron and it's cleaner than ours so their cars run much better.

[Mr duck]

I got mine up to 110kph comming home on the freeway from the dealer.....HA HA HA HA. :D

[2ZZ-GE Sportivo]

I've raped the rolla in hi-cam all the way to 200k's

It should be good for 240+ that top end wack in 6th would feel sooo good.

[Exec6speed]

In this lil babe Ive seen around 215kmh and was still haulin.. The owners manual quotes 225kmh in 6th... Might have to wait for a nice cool night to give that a try... :)

[sharmz]

***** where the hell do you people manage to pull these kinda speeds?

[Mr duck]

What are you getting at Sharmz......The guys are exagerating!!! :P
