A cooper S is 10 grand more than a standard yaris. If you don't think a yaris with 10 grand in mods can beat a cooper S you are crazy. They run 15s stock and a weak slalom from car and driver. Sure it feels sporty because your butt is 4 inches off the ground and the passenger window is 2 feet away, but its not the untouchable super car some people are making it out to be.

Mod for mod a cooper will beat a yaris. Dollar for dollar the yaris wins.

I agree!

Yes there are far more capable cars out there, heck the Yaris is at the bottom of the todem pole.
But where is the respect!? Anyone can by a sports car and be fast (if you are a capable driver), you just have to walk into the dealership and have good credit...lol.

I would say most of us drive the car we drive because it is what we can afford, doesnt mean we can't have fun though!.

I always give props to the underdog.
