2 crotch rockets VS my SOlara - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Haha.

Over the weekend, I was driving back home to ROCHESTER, New York.

On 90west, road infront of me empty, and I see 2 bikes in the rear view... They weave through traffic, slowly past me, and they noticed it was OPEN ROAD ahead. All i heard was "VVroooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm" Both was out, so I was like, why not, I FLOOR my 5S-FE.

I beated my top-speed (95-98) and did a full hundred. But i was willing to do more and I held down the gas for literally about 5 seconds (Felt long as hell) and the car stayed at 100mph and about 3200 RPM's.... Those bikes just got smaller and smaller and then started weaving through traffic again... They was maybe doing 130... Ha.

All my car did was GUZZLE gas like crazy for those few seconds.~

Street racing is bad

But semi-interesting story nonetheless.

Wow, my 92 Camry 4cyl did 120mph once. My Accords hit 100 all the time.

how come the top speed on these cars seem to stop at 100-120mph but my 94 goes to 140+?

My tercel did 86 mph once, only once. As i noticed how much it was struggling at that speed, i only assumed it was my "top speed"

Yea, my sister's 2001 accord 4-cly hits 100mph with less hesitation than my 2000 4-cly SOlara.~

don't know about you guys, but I've broken 100 with my 11 year old 5SFE Camry without any hesitation. I admit, the acceleration clearly is far less than it is at lower speeds, but that comes with the territory. I've done this in a stretch of road that is far less than a mile long.

Aren't some US spec Toyotas limited to 110mph?

With the fuel cut in place, you shouldn't be able to blow your engine very easily unless you keep it at a constant high rev for a CONSIDERABLE amount of time.

Not suggesting people go out and speed their asses off 24/7 but 100 I believe is around 4-5k rpm's or lower in 4th, which isn't very high, considering the fuel cut is 6k.
