+Gaming Palooza Empire I remember seeing someone who took a late 80's Metro that was in extremely good original condition aside from a bad transmission, did some weight reduction and very small suspension upgrades, then replaced the transmission with an aftermarket 5-speed geared similarly to a stock 5-speed but a little different. Nothing else aside from rims, tires and the normal safety equipment for a track. The only place this guy couldn't keep up with a stock GTR on the track was on the tiny straight that it had, and that was it.
I love how the kid laughs at the end!! HAHAHA gets me every time!!! If you want to see a 3cyl Metro doing some ice racing this winter subscribe to my channel. There's no Metro videos yet, just autocross in my Matrix.
I guess, theoretically, one shouldn't be surprised. The Geo has much less sheet metal to haul around. I'm still surprised, though. I kinda like the Storm better, though. It looks like a mini Camaro.
Wait the srt4 is a 4g63? I thought it was something else. I figured mitsu had a hand in it but I didn't think that was what they were using. Sure as hell didn't look like one with all the pics i've found.
tens of thousands? mine has rebuilt engine, rebuilt head, nev cv axles, new steering rack, new radiator and cooling system, new alternator, 2 inch exhaust, rear sway bar, 15 inch rims, h&r springs, kyb struts, front strut tower brace, rear 4 point strut tower brace, lower control arm brace, 96 hubs, 96 rotors, and 96 calipers and i've barely put in 2 grand and that's not even the full list. it barely costs anything to mod a geo metro.
I has a 2000 Chevy metro on boost with a Passat turbo I'm running 15psi I will put some videos later so all the people tat talk ;:-, will she what it does.
That announcer sounds like a cross between Ned Flanders and Johnny Carson.
Thanks for pinpointing it.
Nailed it brother
Civic Driver: Just wait till my V-Tech kicks in!!!
3cyl Geo Metro: Any day now kid. LOL
Nirotix VTEC not v-tech
Some say that Geo Metro and Honda are still racing to the finish line till this day.
LOL that kid laughing at the end sums it up
the civic seems faster on straightaways, but the metro can hit corners faster
No way. the driver in that civic was sloppy as hell and didnt transfer any of that cars weight in the corners. he just needs to learn to drive
That's a real sleeper there.
It looks great, nice paint, nice wheels, looks restored all around. nice job!
Geo Metro > Civic

I bet.
I love these geo metro
But the Honda Civic wasn't expecting that lol
@bluefox9393 yes the 3cyl 1 liter metro (the little blue car) has a turbo 10psi boost.
Did I just see a metro beat a civic.... that's like a smart car taking down a prius...
A turbo Metro. From the factory, they were faster than entry-level sports cars, like Mustang and Camaro V6s, non-GT Pontiac Fieros and even DeLoreans.

Mighty Geo!
All forms of racing are great.
@wideopenthrottle666 or my Honda was stock? you had to completely build your motor and stick a turbo on it?
that metro is just too lightweight
1:10 that laugh when you know you win
not bad for a 3 cylinder!

freakin epic!!!

wait....when did kent brockman start moonlighting as a track announcer? XD
Saratoga speedway?
Geo's weren't made for speed, they were made for economy.
Hell yezz
that was funny, was that a vtec civic ?
an ad for a rebuild kit came up...... XD 120 bucks omg
yo where was this!? the speedway in saskatoon, SK?!
Should've Been In Los Angeles San Fernando Valley California, Where Geo Metro Bashing Began!
I thought that too, but it doesn't look like it. It's definitely in Canada, though, as there's Canada Tire ads.
How much did the whole setup for the turbo cost you?
ARM
LEG
PENIS
TESTICLES
You Get The Idea, lol.
@kawasakiboy2010 great job.
tens of thousands? mine has rebuilt engine, rebuilt head, nev cv axles, new steering rack, new radiator and cooling system, new alternator, 2 inch exhaust, rear sway bar, 15 inch rims, h&r springs, kyb struts, front strut tower brace, rear 4 point strut tower brace, lower control arm brace, 96 hubs, 96 rotors, and 96 calipers and i've barely put in 2 grand and that's not even the full list.
it barely costs anything to mod a geo metro.
Chevrolet metro FTW !!!
Honda can kiss my ass
the lighter car will win almost always
Bah ha ha ha ha that's awesome.
Amen I'm about to put a neon engine in my metro ya'll are gonna be scared to race :o
that laugh at 1.27
Hondas excuse : he had the inside, and my tires wernt fully inflated, plus it was time to change my oil.
3 cylinder 50 horsepower vs 4 cylinder 160 horsepower
I don't know why this vid is funny...
Maybe because it is 1 AM...
I has a 2000 Chevy metro on boost with a Passat turbo I'm running 15psi I will put some videos later so all the people tat talk ;:-, will she what it does.
Wheres the video mayne?
where they at tho
Geo metro from hell.
just swap a Pontiac firefly motor in it stock turbo or a swift GTI and tirbo that, have 400 horse in a metro (y)
geo beating... a civic? thats just not right
Civic takes corner way to wide ..
I would rather drive a Geo than a stupid Honda anyday.
If it was a drag race the geo wouldn't have won
Turbo Metros are surprisingly quick.
hahahahahahaha
Clearly you know very little about the potential of forced induction.
bullshit, only v8s make that kind of power
Honda problems worse then jeep....wow
Lol geo metro....Honda sucks
Kid in the civic was a first timer, as much as I hate hondas, there's no way a geo could have beaten a civic.
Ah, but a TURBO geo.. now thats a whole nother story :)
stertheder yeah forgot about that one, Also see the insane modded Geo against a Camaro SS, the little fucker was fast. lol
