Kills area

[iampachino]

I think that we should have a kills area for the forum. Everyone else has it, and it would be cool to here stories about other yaris owners racing.

thanks aaron

P.S. Great job on the forum

[ChinoCharles]

I beat a Chevy Uplander? Does that count? HAHA

[riceboy]

I don't think it's really the type of car that you're going to hear a lot of kill stories from...

[johnnyfive]

i beat a kid on a pedal bike today :)

[El Jefe]

i had a tough go with a moped today, it was close but i nosed him out after i turned the a/c off. damn a/c sucking up all that power

BWHAHAHAHAHA

[hhcchen]

i don't agree for any kind of killing...
that would just promote street racing and road rages...
and will eventually increase our insurance rate...
so no kill please...:barf:

[SEaton]

ahahaha these responses are great

[johnnyfive]

what does a kill mean? what constitutes a kill?

[Dylanby]

...Street racing is for dummies...
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Just as irresponsible as impaired driving.

I was leaving work last night & these two dicks were weaving in & out of traffic chasing each other (pickup & SUV). The truck made a right at a red while the SUV stopped just short of hitting someone crossing at the light. I can't believe how little value these guys have of others safety. The body roll on the SUV as it weaved in & out of traffic was enough that he easily could have lost control. Schmucks.

[Dylanby]

If you beat another wannabe race car driver in a stoplight drag race, it's considered a "Kill"

And if in doing so you should happen to kill yourself it's considered natural selection.

[ECHOKnight2000]

I drove pass some pedestrians, it was close but I made it!...does that count as a kill?:biggrin:

close as in you almost hit them, because only if you hit them would it have any chance at being a kill?...

Probably should have worded that better...I was referring in that I passed them so I won the race?:thumbsup:

[Idjiit]

Only if we're allowed to post kids and innocent bystanders who get killed street racing as well. Save it for the track, ace.

[argylesocks]

umm. in case anyone forgot, this car only has 106hp.

the last thing i want to read about is some 16yr old kid bragging about how they beat an '87 Celica off the line.

[SimmZ]

What do you expect of a 106HP car? The only thing I may think to kill with my Echo on the street is a squirrel! Seriously... Echo/Yaris is build for fuel economy, not for performance.

Umm have u ever heard of the civic. If u meet one pushing 200 hp it is a quick car. And im pretty sure that a yaris could do the same. Im not saying drive stupid, but I know around here at night the town is empty after midnight. Other than a ticket there is really no risk. Im not saying race in town in the middle of the day, but the yaris has potetial. Also I think it could be a formidable track car. In the FF 200hp class.

Thanks Aaron

[jmew0ng]

now show me the cheese.... :]

[johnnyfive]

did you photoshop that? where did you get that page?

[argylesocks]

did you photoshop that? where did you get that page?

u mean, you didnt know about the 226hp option when you bought yours??

dude. that sucks.

[johnnyfive]

according to that sheet, it is not a 226 HP option..it is standard..i dont belive it for a second...got so excited for a min there too :)

[JustAnotherAsian]

haha. we need a sarcasm smiley (the rolling-eyes smiley is somewhat close though). lol.

but damn, 226hp yaris straight from the factory would be a killer. too bad we have anything close to it in the near future- a reliable 226hp daily driver that could run on pump gas and still have decent mpg... basically something that wont have "swiss cheese" for internals after a couple thousand miles like echo hrs suggested.

but on the other hand- i have a feeling someone among the yaris crowd will come up with a yaris pushing 200hp in the distant future... with something a little better than swiss cheese for internals (pepperjack? lol)

[Idjiit]

Why the hell would you want 226HP in a 2,200lb FWD car? Sounds like a recipe for an undrivable piece of shit.

Why don't you go ask Spoon or Mugen if a 2200 pound 226 horsepower car is automatically an "undrivable piece of shit." :cool:

Ever heard of torque steer?

[JustAnotherAsian]

heck- don't really have to ask spoon or mugen, just ask toyota themselves...

corolla t-sport compressor
~2500-2600
~215hp
~no mention of "torque steer"

most high-powered fwd cars suffer torque steer. but on the other hand, on many of those high-powered fwd cars (like the 215hp t-sport) the torque steer is not enough to render the car an "undrivable pice of shit". shave off 200-300 pounds and add 10 hp and you have the 225hp yaris.
