TongMan Elk Grove California, US Master Mechanic	Well, every once and a while, I drive home from work on Elk Grove Florin Road and I usually see this girl driving her Echo. From my research, the Echo is a slow car, but this girl is hella moving her Echo. Off red lights, the Echo would just pull away from everyone. I think that either the Echo is hella modded or the girl is just driving the shit out of her Echo. Like always flooring it. Her car looks stock. A few times I tried to stay with her, which was simple by the way. She would lauch off the light and I would do so as well. I can easily pass her but I didn't want to, so I just stayed side by side with her. Just playing with her. One time, she tried to pull away from me, which was funny cause she couldn't, I would just stay right beside her. I think I got her pissed off a little. Everytime I see her I want to play with her and stay side by side with her... So to ask my question, anyone tried racing an Echo? And this girl is just driving the hell out of her car. Silly girl.

Aviator213 Hagerstown Maryland, US Scion Guru	My nebighor drives a black Echo,and from everything i've seen, they're pretty slow, the gas i think must be pretty touchy in them. So my guess is the girl your playin with is driving the hell out of the car, from everything i've seen, i'm not impressed with them

SquallLHeart The Techie	HP really doesn't have much to do with how fast a car is... i've seen a rated 97 HP car whoop major butt. (weight consideration too) the question you ask is very relative... yes.. the echo has alot of pep behind it's puny engine.. and being small and lightweight... it can become a fairly quick car. but as far as relative to our cars? yes... weaker and slower, and the way you describe her driving.... sorry to be stereotypical... but she's.. a she. (probably abusing the car) but to end it on a good note... a modified echo.. can (key word "can") become a car to be reckoned with. LED Swaps and parts available! PM me for details, questions and/or quotes. There's Strong, and then there's RETARD Strong. Decelerate your life. The Few, the Proud...

Web Maryland, US THE SHADOW	^Sad thing is that it was a SLOW pull...........so, to answer the original post........They are slow vehicles when you look at the numbers, but as Squal said....it's not just HP that you have to look at. Gearing/HP/Weight/TQ.....lots of variables. Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. http://clubsciontc.com/fo...-rims--5x100-pattern.html
