Stock Yaris as fast as stock 1982 Z28 Camaro/Trans Am!!
Some of the younger members on the board may be unaware of the fact that the performance of today's Yaris is on par with many V8 "performance cars" from the later 1970s through earlier 1980s.
I drove enough of these to know that my 5 speed manual Yaris is TRULY at least as quick as some of those cars, including this one. This is a 1982 Z28 Camaro equipped with the optional "performance" engine (Throttle Body Injected 5.0 liter V8). The car required 9.7 seconds to hot 60 MPH and barely cracked 80 MPH through the quarter. http://www.thirdgen.org/1982camaroz28-mt-january1982
