we have the same drag coeficient as a tc weird but true we weigh 90 pounds more same tranny same motor in theory yes just as fast

 

well i've tried going 115mph on my brother gen1 stock and it wasn't that stable but then when he upgraded with I/H/E along with suspension mods his car picked up to 122mph. so ever since i've got my 08 blue xb i've hit 110mph many times until ealier this month going up to SF on the 5N i maxed at 131mph. when i hit 131mph my car have roughly 9k miles on it. first i thought the top speed would be much higher coz it share the same engine as the TC and i've thoght maybe its my car. then i've traded my old blue one in for the new gold rush yesterday and last night 12.30 am on the 2fwy i did 129mph so i know this car is stuck at that speed. but the great thing about the 2nd gen is it's so stable at that speed. cant wait till my injen cai come then i'll try this again.

 

anyone know how to override that stupid fuel cut off crap. i feel the car can really go more to 145mph mark

 

116 in my gen 1. 121 the gen 2. (On a closed course of course.)

To do much faster, you REALLY need much better tires and suspension.

 

different thread

Somebody is is having a bad day
(even if the second guy deserved it)

 

yeah i was im sick of the lies and stupid people

 

and you know what you multiply that coefficient by, dont you? frontal area. im pretty sure the xb's frontal area is a lot bigger and a mclaren F1.

 

the tc and xb both have the same drag coefficient....

 

99mph on I40 going from barstow, ca to laughlin nv.

 

i did a year of fluid dynamics, in my undergrad, my major was Physics and math. it's virtually impossible to look a car and determine how aerodynamic it is. Something as small as a tiny body mod can improve or destroy the aerodynamics of a car.

my previous car, a VW new beetle had a Cd of .38 (w/o spoiler), with spoiler it's 0.28.

However, there is more to the force of drag, than just Cd. just like you mention Area is very important.

The fact that the xB and the tC have near identical EPA millage est, that shows that Scion/Toyota has done a great job with the aero of the xB. When you consider that its much larger and a tad heavier, and have near the same top speeds.

I love my xB2

 

its not just the aero that makes the xbs mileage, the xb is heavier and gets better gas mileage then the tC, not because its more aerodynamic then the tc but because the engine is tuned for better gas mileage and in that they sacrifice some power, notice the xb has a few less horsepower then the tC, even though its the "same" engine.

 

I just wanted to see three digits. Didn't think I'd have to stay there for a minute while my f'ing phone powered up it's camera. Not the fastest, but that is MPH.

 

this one time i did like...55 :-0

 

I haven't been over 120 in my XB yet. The fastest I've ever gone was 155 in my 87 Mustang GT and that was scary above 130.

 

I won't even try. Lowered, the XB2 is a real nice highway slider at 80+.

155 is fast. Before I hit the big 70 I want to build an 8 second fox body. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMu7tG4AJvU

 

106 on a service road in long island,
it was enough to beat my friend in his 08 tiburon GT

 

So the other day I hit 88 mph. I was instantaneously transported back in time to 1955...
J/K

Fastest I have gone is 118 mph.

 

his ram is limited to 105

 

my friend had a 06 gt tib... that thing went 160 so ur friend must be a bad driver.. or not modded

 

Went 178mph on my Yamaha FJ 1100 back in 1995, that did it for me guys!

My RS6 has seen 95 several times, but it only has 1200 miles on it. I want it to break-in more before pushing it too hard.
