starlet top speed

[sambaldock]

what is the most you can get out of a starlet on topspeed?

 

[Decep82]

180 kmh if its limited

 

[Sean_GT]

I would guess 125-130mph unlimited

 

[TurboDave]

How long is a piece of string?

 

[monka]

redline in 5th, apparently 150

 

[Derek]

Don't understand why people care really you will probs never do that speed and if you do on public roads you shouldn't be on them.

 

[D3N0]

if you had enough power to get there, the top speed is 168mph. gearbox limited

 

[Toyota T23]

252km/t in a starlet EP70 on GPS.
Was crazy.

 

[TurboDave]

I think the gearbox is limited to nearer 160 real speed on the limiter, my old GT hit the limiter in 5th twice at Brintingthorpe.

iam just trying to find out how fast these cars can go really no need to be stupid about it this only refers to a few people and if i would like to do that speed i would go on a airport strip. really 168mph thats it so fast for such a small car. thanks for the info peeps

starlet gear box

what gearbox would you need in the car to reach them sort of speeds?

Its not the gearbox its the power. Why do you need to go that fast anyway?

Our car hit 180mph on the rollers

 

[Derek]

Our car hit 180mph on the rollers

Really? supercar speed there. but you wouldn't hit that on an airstrip i don't think.

 

[Sharkman645]

Our car hit 180mph on the rollers

i wouldnt fancy driving one at that speed seeing it on the rollers would be enough for me

 

[MentaLEP91]

267kmh measured by gps on a GT gearbox

 

[turbo-roj]

[turbo-fever]

[Starlet_Sam]

the gearbox plays a major part in speeds obtained
higher and lower ratios can make loads of difference to acceleration and top speed
