Spotted the new corollas on the road.. A black hatch with a sportivo badge. I checked it out and witnessed that the driver was a chick?
so I go heh nah its just a sticker
Moment of truth. We turned off and I just wathced it accelerate and wow! I was impressive on how it pulled even at low speeds.
That thing really hauls! I was pointing out to my dad who was shot gun - Damm dad check out how the new corolla just pulls away and its a 30year old lady driver!
She just pulled car lengths on us. The power delivery on that thing looks like a supercharger from behind! Its just so smooth and linear it must have a close ratio gearbox?
Impressions - It left me and a magna verada v6 3.5L for dead and the magna was giving it so i took it to 5.5k where the good old 4AGE starts to make passing power and got a nose infront so I could check out where the sportivo went. At the next lights that thing just got infront by 400m's instantly as i whatched it from behind. The engine wasn't roaring it just made holes in traffic for its self!
Has anybody got one of these babies? Id sure love a 2ZZGE in my AE93
