My Yaris goes 0-60 in 4.6 seconds in REM sleep.

I bet that in a free fall the Yaris could be just as fast as any other car!!

nope, it's lighter so it will fall slower

[spkrman]

welcome to the year 1420 :)

The auto is definitely under 10 seconds, 9.x is what I clocked, although we all know how accurate that is.

Are you kidding?

I clocked mine at 9.143325456 seconds.

The 9.4sec is probably from a normal take-off without over reving and the under 9.0 sec is achieved by giving it some gas before dropping the clutch. Since the Yaris doesn't seem to have much initial (under 2500rpm) power, getting the Rev's up while dropping the clutch should make for a significantly better take-off. Also, I doubt the hard drop with sticky tires will bog down the engine (unlike my old car, which bogged down easily from a hard drop).

My old 98 Civic Hatch has the same weight and power as my new Yaris and that car was rated 8.6sec to 100km/hr, which is very fast considering the gigantic gearings in the Civic's DX engine. The Yaris could be just as fast or faster to 100km/hr if it had some sticky rubber up front. That way, you could burn some clutch, get a jump start, and get the car into the meat of the power at above 3000rpm asap, but the dinky stock tires will have to go in order to support a hard drop.

ok now if u throw a short throw shifter and the way i see it each short throw per gear will save you about 1/2 sec.. out of 3 gear shifting will save u approx 1.5 sec.. from 9 sec down to 7.5 might be possible.. dont you think guys...i think i think.....

1. Because of inertia you wont de-accelerate during shifts, the momentum you already generated will continue to push you during fast shifts.

2. If a short shifter saves you 0.5 seconds per shift... And it still takes time to shift even though you now have up to a 30% reduction in throw, how long does it take you to shift with a short shifter? 1.2 seconds... Wow!

3. I'm pretty sure you can hit 60 mph in 2nd gear with a Yaris 5 speed... But I'm not 100%. I know for a fact you wont have to shift 3 times.

A short throw MIGHT save you about 0.25 of a second from your 0-60!
