The Vitz is in the 14s!

Ok, call me stoopid but what does missing second mean? You don't get the transmission into second gear crisply so you slow down while you're off the throttle?

very nice and congrats on the 1/4. about you missing second is it possible you weren't clutching all the way in, you know in the heat of the moment you're not going all the way in?

It isn't that, but...

you grind the piss out of it for a second (generally that slows people down too).

YEP! The stick will just jam on you halfway, but you've already started to let the clutch go and GRRRKKKKKKK fail. Its my presumption that this is caused by the engine bucking around and screwing with the linkage. Sound about right?

I think they Yaris has pretty TALL gears. At least compared to the other FWD cars I've raced in

Did I just hear you say you were going to swap a 6 speed? Maybe my problems with the gearing are actually rooted in that open diff.

I installed a boost gauge and GUESS WHAT?! 6 psi in third. What that means I don't know, but taking it to a dyno just jumped up the list of crap to do. I'm considering getting the following:

That should help put a little more power to the ground. We shall see...

Two more things... one, I looked back at my slips and realized I ran a .0000 reaction time on one run. LOL, it was the 2.2x 60' run where I missed second. Its the one that got away. That and I got 34 MPG on a tank where I ran @ the track. Yaris FTW.
