Case in point, ALMS and World Challenge GT racing.

My argument was really not about diplacement but rather the idea and insinuation that small engines are the only ones with R&D put into them these days...which is a completely blind and ignorant.
I saw where you were coming from, I wasn't really referring to anyone on this site in particular... I agree with you.

I think you bought the wrong car if you're intent on arguing hp about a YARIS! Who am I kidding though, with a username like "forpinks" I bet you're Yaris is on the loose destroying every bicycle, skateboarder, and old man walking trying to race you.

This is the performance forum. If you don't want a high-performance Yaris, go join the circle jerk already taking place in the fuel economy threads. Leave us alone.

Pardon me while you pilot that 17 second car. I'll be the one making room on the salt flats so you can hit 82 mph......within the mile....off a cliff.
