Recipe for world's fastest Geo Metro?
Wow ... a turbocharged Buick V6-powered, nine-second RWD Geo Metro. Yep, that's pretty fast. I want.

Wow.
Wonder if you can cram the Camry v6 under the hood of a Yaris. May have to extend the front a bit. |

Awesome, but I hope they fabricated a good roll cage in that bad boy. Geo Metros aren't known for their safety.

Some of us remember the Cosworth Vega. Not quite as impressive as a Geo Metro with a six but it was fast.
