What? A Toyota Paseo?

What would you guys think if you were at a gathering and a guy wanted to race you...in a Toyota Paseo? Seriously what would your first impression be?

My very first thought would be why am I wasting hte gas, Im gonna smoke him, followed by why am I wasting hte gas, hes probably got a 500+hp uber motor of d00m in there.

if nobody else has bothered to check i'd like to say that the paseos have a variety of engine swaps available as well as the ability to be boosted, so though horrific and hideous, the paseo is a viable option for speed... eww ...i think they are similar to the tercel

i would race one if he had the balls
but it definitely wouldn't be for money

btw just wondering what kind of car you drive?

Well first off you have to wonder if he even has the paseo's motor in there. Most people will figure out that the stock motor is a P.O.S. If he ditched the stock motor for the MR2 turbo motor, you'll most likely be looking at taillights, as I believe that car weighs a whopping 2300lbs (Lighter then the MR2). If he has the stock motor, he ain't sh*t, even if he is modded.

paseos are a tad lighter than the civic hatch, i've seen a 250+ hp paseo, since the paseo is so light, you can imagine how fun this 250 hp paseo would be

I'd take a listen to the car first. If you can't hear a turbo, you're probably good to go.

I get scared when stuff like that happens. I was out with my Formula 350 one day and this kid comes up to me with a stock looking old Civic hatch and says "I'll race you for 100 bucks"....I was like "uhhhhh I don't think so, you probably got some serious stuff done"...turned out he was completely stock lol...so I think I would just be confused if a Paseo did that to me.

Me and my buddy used to have paseo's. They were our first cars. They're slow with a measly 100 hp and 91ft/lbs of torque, however like stated above when you drop in the turbo MR2 motor, they run like bats outta hell. My buddy's friend worked at a toyota shop and picked up a motor for cheap and dropped it in the paseo. The next thing you know BOOM!!! that thing flew like abat outta hell.

So as for your question of what would you do if a paseo came up and asked you to race. I would tell him to pop his hood, and ask him what he's got. More then likely he's swapped and if not ..... well then he's just an idiot.

Gosh, I was just thinking about it, and then it hit me. Everytime an SRT-4 owner loses, they have that saying, "congratulations, you just beat a neon". Now what if a paseo smokes a Neon SRT-4. I mean you can't say anything, cause a stock paseo will lose to anything short of an RTD bus, and even then it's a good run.

what were you guys thinking? it's another H0nduh?? lol, no way....
