According to the factory specs, the top track speed for a 2003 ES300 is 140 mph.

Keep in mind Toyota speedo's are not that accurate going that fast (noones are), so ya need to go back the tach more than the speedo.
3mz-fe's are electronically limited to 143mph(230km/h), and while the car would likely hit around that, depending on it's condition, it requires an ungodly amount of runup room to go that fast.


On all of them, once you get around 120-125mph, further increases begin to take miles of flat road.

top speed and es300 are oxymorons

tupapison

I dont think you are right, maybe a LADA and speed are oxymorons, but not the ES300

Just remember, you're slower than a v6 Camry, which puts you only marginally faster than a late model v6 fbody, or v6 mustang.

tupapison

well, its faster than my volvo 940

Pheonix

I bet if you slapped a different turbo on it, that volvo would redefine hauling for ya.

tupapison

you can bet on that......i can put up to 300 horsepower on my volvo, but there is 2 much work involved >_>

Pheonix

Ah man, there's no easier way to make power than on an engine that starts as FI!

tupapison

I didnt get that, what do you mean by FI?

I wouldnt say that. Maybe a little pass 130 on the speedo, then it starts to take a while. I cruise at about 130-135mph (according to the gauge) from my girlfreinds house to my house every night I go over their. Its about 14-15 miles of highway. As long as the AC is off, it will get upto 130 without any issues.
