No, just further shows the ignorance/arrogance behind your posts. There are not too many cars on the street that are meant to be a racecar, but that rarely prevents people from modifying and racing them.

There aren't?????? what are evos, STI's,M3s,srt4,Volkswagen GTI,vettes,mustangs,camaros, lexus ISF etc... the list goes on. Trying to beef up a car, thats mean't to be a great with fuel and safety standards, that has no race inspired aerodynamics, motor, drivetrain,suspension, is not only going to cost a fortune but is absolutely ridiculous and pointless.

just go buy a car similar to what i listed and it'll not only cost a fraction of what it'll cost to make a yaris in any of those catergories.

Once again i think these cars are very eye catching and attractive, and with a few exterior mods, it'll look bad ass, but speed isn't something i even thought of when i bought this car a month ago point blank.

They are hopped up street cars. Not a single one of those has any track going gear on it. And oh yeah, the 3800lb Camaro on 20"s was made for the track.

Cars like the Porsche GT3 Cup, Dodge Viper ACR X and Ford FR500S/C are among the few rare factory built cars for the track.

why in the world would they put front and rear sway bars, struts, big brake kits on damn near all the models i listed??? those aren't for the track your saying ???

so your telling me YOUR shop yaris is capable of running with any cars i listed????

and i dont know where in the world did vipers, porsches, and ford FR500s and other cars in the higher end price range even mentioned in this topic? we're talking lower in the lower level car and your bringing cars that aren't even obtainable to the public in this discussion??? cmon now really ???

My truck has factory front and rear swaybars and big brakes, is it a racecar? Those are items on nearly every vehicle in production today, that is not race equipment.

Comparing what our purpose built racecar can do compared to stock street cars is pretty pointless. Given the same mods a car that starts with more power, better suspension and bigger tires will obviously be faster. The point was your dribble about the Yaris not being a racecar makes no more sense than the other cars you listed being "racecars", when they are simply street cars for a different market, not a single car you listed is prepared from the factory for the track.

The cars I listed, regardless of price, are factory racecars.

btw, just for fun, stock EVO MR 1:38.37 at Willow Springs. The fastest lap in our Yaris, 1:36.417.

The point of racing a yaris or a Civic is that it will cost a fraction of the running cost of a 3000+ pounds car. And it will be slower, but more fun and nimble.

Whoosh! as it goes overhead.

It';s a lot more fun driving a slow car fast thanit is driving a fast car slow. And the Yaris in stock form can still embarrass Mustang, Camaros, etc, on the twisties. A set of 205s instead of the stock 185s makes it even more fun!

Sad you missed out on this.
