vibe gt top speed

I am just wondering about the top speed of our cars. Mention how fast you have gone in yours and also what the factory claims the top speed to be. Base vibes/matrix please share also. I've had mine up to about 120 mph on a open stretch. '03 vibe gt

I think I've taken it up to 180kph. I'm just to scared to take it further on the open roads. Maybe one day when I go to a track or something.Anyone else?

if you do a search, I believe there is a thread on this already. I know I've had mine to about 125, maybe 130? I can't remember now. I'm on car #3 since the Vibe. 03 VGT. also had the our 04 Vibe to about 110 mph

In a quick acceleration run I took the Vibe to 100 (miles per hour) in 4th. Considering its a 6 speed I would guess somewhere around 135 would be the top speed.

1zz is not 115. i got mine to what im going to call 122. speaking of speeds does the scanguage2 have a digital spedo?

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:08 pm

your speedo must be off then or maybe the awd is different. but the 1zz is electronically limited to 115.

i had an 03 AWD, it was rev limited to 115, no doubt.

139 is top speed on 03 GT and fuel shut off

Does anyone actually push the speed limiter? I wouldn't feel safe driving a buck-forty in a less-aerodynamic Corolla.

I hit a buck and a quarter in my '04 at high elevation (8000ft). I think she could have gone higher at sea level...

2005 Base up to I think it was 111 mph or 180 km/h

1zz is electronically limited at 114 or 115.2zz at 130

does it hit top speed in 5th or 6th? My Dad's '98 Z28 hits maximum speed in 5th gear.

I don't plan on going that fast. Just curious...

figured I'd resurrect this old thread. Struck me as odd this morning when i pushed my 03 base in some cold morning air. I fired up the GPS before i hit that stretch of road and got a 119.4mph reading before i started coming up on some traffic. Car felt nice and stable and the tires are V rated so i wasn't worried about the rubber. Surprisingly smooth and there were still some revs left in 4th gear (5-spd stick) to possibly hit 120mph. It surprised me to get that far since i though it was limited to 115 mph.

09 base 1.8, 5000rpm, 5th gear, 185km/h then you hit the speed limiter. Too bad that there's nowhere other then the track or frozen lake where you can legally drive this speed!

bassplayaz06 · Post by **bassplayaz06** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:01 am

edmunds inside line reported the 03 GT as a top speed of 135. maybe limited. 4th runs out at 115 or so but idk about 5th and 6th.

KITT222 · Post by **KITT222** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:35 am

Yeah, too bad. And there aren't any lakes around here that are big enough! Although if you're on the west coast you have the salt flats, so there's always that.

supervibe · Post by **supervibe** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:52 pm

I had mine at 135-137 mph, it was tough to get a good look at that speed and the bumps in the road made it rough
