Your gonna need A LOT of work done to the Yaris to beat the Mustang... the new one's run mid to high 13's

IK its gonna take alot of work but I like to have goals and this is a pretty big one. Oh and by the way i'm talking about 0-60 not 1/4 mile lol

2008 mustang GT 0-60.. 5.2 seconds..

me on 10lbs of boost (just about all the stock rods will handle) 6 seconds...


so be prepared to build yourself a complete engine.. rods, pistons, valvtrain, get that head looked at, might as well Balance the rotating parts..

remember my $8000 budget?

make it $10000



or you could buy a Fbody mustang for $4000, put about $2000 in it and run 10's...

wait i mean... 0-60 in mid 4second range

well I don't like fords lol. plus why would I want the same thing as him even though it looks different. I want to be different! Also I doubt he can get 5.2 sec like it can. Again like I mentioned all these mods will be less than the cost of the new 2010 Camaro that I want with a trade in. I like this car and want to keep it. I want to get the most out of this car as I can safely. I'm still learning. I'm a computer geek that wants to work on his car go figure lol.

For light weight wheels is 13-15lbs good? Also would it be beneficial to have all slicks or just slicks in the front? Is 205/50-15 good for tire size? is 225/50-15 to big? Thanx

no reason to put slicks on a ground pounding 95whp lol (at best)

just give up on making your yaris a race car..

oh and for a 15X7 don't settle for anything heavier than 13 lbs..

Use 14 wheels ( 185-55 r-14 will shave almost a sec off your 0-60 RIGHT NOW. oR if you want stockers got to 40 series 15's. Cheapest go fast mod other than cutting a big slot in the bottom of the stock airbox. The shorter "effective" final drive ratio allow the motor to spin up faster and puts less strain on timing advance - so engine will "supertune" itself in a week or so. Not everyones a PRO drag racer, so If you catch someone sleeping, or, If they're sloppy drivers, you can smoke 'em. A NORMAL person driving a pony car would get to sixty in maybe 7 secs on a stick car. I've drive with a lot of people and only maybe 2-5 % can really drive. The bro
