like handling for one.....the teg was like it was on rails. For me, the yaris is coming up short in that category too.

Is this worthy of even a single page on any sport compacts magazine?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the yaris, I love my car. I think it's a great car for fuel economy, and for the price it's a nice solid car. But I wouldn't even think about doing anything for performance, it wouldn't make sense because the gains would not be worth the cost. For instance, the Megan header, it looks exactly like the stock piece!!

What isn't worth it to you may be totally worth it to someone else. Ask Nick [turboyaris] if his turbo kit was worth it to him.

And yes, that gain is pretty sad for the cost of that kit. 21 HP. I think I can get that N/A. We'll see.

this months syphon mag had a yaris vs fit vs versa shoot out. the yaris had the least hp AND the fastest lap...by 4 seconds...that is a lot...

take ZPIs turbo, add it to the suspension setup mentioned above, and yaris is latin for "wicked fast"
