you must have a dad alignment i also pushed the stock tires to bald that made it shake bad but i got new rims and tires and its smooth but that fast the wind gusts do scare me a little still better then my 74 bug at 120

 

Not to be a naysayer, but I don't see how you possibly reached 125 mph on level ground with no big tail wind. The aerodynamics off this car and the 108 or so HP just wouldn't make that possible.

Is your car pressurized?

 

exactly why i am wonder how there are so many NA boxes running 120mph+...

 

lol 120 isnt that hard just got to have alot of road and it doesnt help to run down hill and the fastest car i ever had was a 94 subaru l wagon i set the cruise at 135 on the way home from wyoming it was a blast that was with 4 people in it 1000 worth of fire works and the ac blaring hahahaha you know rolling hard lmfao

 

It very possible and very easy to do. Its obvious that the people saying its not possible have never even tried. You dont need any wind to do it either.

 

my box is blown and it still tops out at 115 on a flat road... gimme 20 mins and several miles maybe i will be able to get it up higher...

 

20 min.? you should be a 120 in like 3 min.

 

I dont know guys. I have had 2 boxes and the fastest I could go was 112 in one and 115 in another. Both of those times I was going down a HUGE mountain. I guess there is a chance but I dont really see how. And dont tell me I didnt try because I had my 2005 gto with mods up to about 180 3 times

 

I've been just over 100 a few times or so... You can see your gas gauge move when you're going that speed!

 

like ryan said its possible with time and room and the desert is the place to do it long flat road

 

for me, if it takes longer than a few seconds to move 1mph faster, i have topped out... but yes, gimme a 10 mile stretch, im sure it will be higher...

 

I would venture to guess that there is significant speedometer error at the higher end. I have been around cars for a LONG time and I just don't see this car doing an "honest" 125 mph. No way, no how.

And what about the 109 mph governor I have read so much about, is everyone defeating those somehow?

I would be willing to bet that these cars cannot poke past 110 in a "true" top speed run.

 

ive never heard of a 109mph governor before... this car is capable of slightly exceeding 110 if you have the right mods... according to car and driver, the auto xB is drag limited to 103... kinda pointless to have a governor on a car that can't reach it. of course the 5 spd can go a little faster, but not much...

 

I did a google search for scion xb top speed and a lot of the sources posted top speed as 109 (governor limited). That's where I got that. 103 sounds more likely for the auto, and 110 or a few more for the manual sounds plausible.

 

there is no governor on our cars.

 

you know next time im out late at night with my camera i will settle this once and for all how does that sound????????

 

Doesn't really matter. A picture of a speedometer means nothing. I'm not doubting folks are getting onto stretches of roads and reaching an indicated 125, I just don't believe that under the proper conditions (temp, wind, level road) that a xB will do a "true" 125 mph. That's just too stout.

 

This may be true, just telling what I found on the internet.

 

not 130... 127 to be exact... with my turbo box i redlined it out in 5th gear at 127 with some heavy 19's...

 

not a picture video lol i know a picture means nothing but you know how to click a button and use photoshop so should get it done this weekend
