What speed have you taken your 86 too - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The devil inside took over today.
Wanted to see what the car is capable of doing, put the throttle to the floor on straight road and got up to 225km/h just over 6500 rpm.
Felt as though it could have gone a little more.
Unfortunately I did not have the Sat Nav on to check true speed.
Irresponsible I know....

a little over 110mph... still was gaining speed rapidly but saw traffic up ahead so i slowed down. this was right after my break in. Had to see how it felt up top.

185km ...... Then started getting scared cause of strong crosswinds.... Car needs a spoiler !!

I can hear the flamers already...

Took mine to 120 mph one time. Since then I think the highest Ive been is 100.

According to AARTO the fastest proven speed I've ever gone is about 100kph.

Mathewgzlz · 01-03-2013, 02:45 AM

140mph on I-95

atledreier · 01-03-2013, 03:32 AM

150kph on a *ahem* closed circuit....

https://www.cobra.com/detail/esd-710...ta-display.cfm is just for you!

I have the older model and it has saved me a fortune - especially on Jo'burg to Durban trips... Cheap, nasty and legal! It gives you about 1.3 seconds to respond - also we only use laser in the country you just need to familiarize yourself with the laser noise. or get the fancier talking model - violently annoying in my opinion!

The 12V socket in the glovebox was such a bonus for me for using this!

Rossi, suggest you set up sprint day on your mates driveway...

86 gathering on the farm.

Go check out www.speedweeksa.com which features in September this year. Read up on the event from 2012.. Looks like a jol! Apparently there was a white 86 there this year canning it down the strip..

I also heard it was insane, lots and lots of nice cars there and an all round fun time, might be going this year.

Was returning back from Natal during the holidays. Average speed was between 180 - 200kph. Not proud of the speed though but had an emergency. Top speed was 205kph. Car really performs on the open road and in Natal.
