Mine goes 0-60 around 5 secs sometimes a little under depending on the day.

The only car that ever gave me any competition was a mean sounding 2011 mustang with probably about 400 -500 hp (everything else just totally disappears in my rearview mirror). And even he had a hard time passing me. He was a car length behind me off of the light until about 65 mph... and even then he only got a nose length ahead topping out at 70 until he decided to veer off a side road. Probably freaked out because a Yaris was so hard to overtake. My engine was hot by that time anyway from taking off 5 minutes earlier from a car who completely disappeared in my rearview. If the Mustang had caught me while my engine was warmer he might not of passed me at all before turning. Just hung next to me.

And I live around a good amount of hi performance exotics. Lambos.... Ferraris that come out in the spring and summer. I passed a lambo revving around a curve at the mall once (small space) and probably made the driver pee in his pants a little when he saw what flew up in his rear view mirror and passed him on the right. Then he probably laughed after seeing what it was when he was stopped behind me :)~. If we had been on the highway I obviously wouldve got left at 80 miles an hour. But I doubt theres any other stock economy cars that can hang like that with an exotic.

I havent got left yet.

With just 15 inch rims, hi performance tires, a perfect low centered alignment, and an oil change with a certain mix of oil and techron fuel system cleaner my car is hard to beat by anything on the road.

I should get some of the footage up on Youtube but I can't figure out how people are attaching the camera phones to the dashboard and shooting it. The dash on the yaris sucks. Would have to get a friend to tape it but then the extra weight would probably kill the race a little :o/
