2. What was this thread about?
to get a yaris in the 10's you'd need to have huge drag slicks, and a motor that didn't make any power below 6k rpm.

it takes alot of home cooked quality engineering to build a 10 second car for sub $12k btw, then again since we're bench racing we might as well say we can do a 8 second yaris for another $3k.

a fully caged, stiff ass suspension, properly sized wheels/tires, and mild turbo kit Yaris would be a hell of alot more fun (and cheaper) then a 10 second yars.

30 minute lapping session > 4 10 second pulls

Maybe 10 seconds is pushing it, but 10 bucks says Garm puts an 11 second road course monster Yaris on the ground by the end of next summer.

phew some elaboration was all i was looking for haha ....to simply say a 10sec yaris would be boring...with no reference to what it would boring compared to...ex:road course time vs drag strip time...struck me as odd. Point taken now though.
