"Many a time I've witnessed some tit in the outside lane racing the bollocks off of a Yaris and getting up the arse of something like an M3 or other car that would likely stop in half the distance it would."
I was watching Car S.O.S the other week and Tim Shaw was trying to blag (like he usually does) performance brake pads for a car they were working on. The guy showed him several types of pads, and he gave them the highest performing pad that was road legal. Shaw asked why they couldn't have the higher performing pads and why they weren't legal. The guy said the higher performing pads are illegal because the car would stop too quick.
In your scenario, the Yaris could have far better tyres and pads than the M3. More often than not (in Birmingham at least), the rude bois who drive the M3's throw on the cheapest tyres they can find and the cheapest parts they can afford, while spunking the rest of the money on removing the DPF and getting more power from the car.
