Why Mod a Cheap Car? - Toyota Yaris Forums

You got it all wrong. I am definitely that type of person who wonders why people feel the need to dump money in straight line performance mods.

The way I look at it is, why spend $3,500 on a supercharger that will give you 30HP when you can pick up a Fox body Mustang roller for $500 and buy a real nice used motor for 2k and run 12s all day.

IMO handling and appearance is where the Yaris has potential. Straight line performance in a car like the Yaris is pure ego. You want to impress others with the cars speed. Handling is something you can enjoy every time you drive the car.
