Yeah the german BMWs who happened to be travelling over 100 would demonstrate this when my tapped out 3 came along.

Corolla 4A-GE 20 valve "Silvertop", 142 mph, and only had to slow for traffic...



But hey, for only another $170,000, Tesla can deliver you that extra 13 mph, "ain't no thang", lol.

Heh.

That's a jdm motor though isn't it?

[TheReal_ND]

Good god 7.2k from the factory?

Prolly, but AFAIK, only because Toyota doesn't make them anymore, Toyota stopped making the Silvertop back in 95'.

I was going to say the AGE is still a vaunted engine to this day but I wasn't sure if they were still produced. The rwd corollas with the aeg are dope as shit. Lots of torque too.

$192,000 puts you into a Porsche 911 GT3, and I don't even like Porsche's, but at least you'd get your full 200 mph for the bucks, if/when you're going on the Autobahn.

We don't do electric in Houston. I've seen one Volt a leaf and three Prius total in Houston. Ever.

Interesting. Prius is a pretty common car, and seeing Volts is not unusual, here in the Bay Area. It seems to be a fad to buy Volts, among all the rich people, those can afford to blow six figures on a car. It certainly looks cool and fast.

Barring some rich unknown relative leaving me in their will, I'm never going to afford that. While I'm dreaming, I have to say I would prefer an Aston-Martin anyways.
