I did see a few apex editions on the street, and paired with the flat grey paint it does look pretty good :pokerface: better than civics :lawl:

The current gen Corollas actually look quite nice. They top trimmed ones looked a lot sportier and faster than they were.

Current gen Civics are pretty mundane looking. The Si doesn't look sporty at all.

twitchyzero 12-27-2021 08:45 AM

minor complaint but since we're comparing to new civic i hate how the infotainment area of rav4/corolla looks
hopefully they all get updated with the new NX interior soon

Some crazy Aussies have already cranked one up to 470hp


AzNightmare 12-28-2021 05:18 AM

All that power in a sub 2900 lbs AWD car...


:sweetjesus:

Eh, for how long is the real question. You can make a lot of cars make a lot of power for one dyno chart and one Youtube video.

^ whaaaa... you mean to say... people don't rebuild their drivetrain every other weekend!? Am I doing this enthuasist thing wrong?

Looks like a new teaser image for the GR Corolla just came out, and it looks kinda cool that it's lifted.

JDMDreams 12-29-2021 04:43 PM

Those wheels looks like $500 cl special fast wheels :pokerface: :joy::troll:

Even if it doesn't last very long at 470, the fact that it can get there at all would lead me to believe tuning one up to say 350 wouldn't be an issue for longevity.

That Circuit Package looks so good... :sweetjesus:

underscore 01-13-2022 06:10 PM

I dig the hood vent, I'm assuming that's a nod to the 5th gen GTFour RC/6th gen GTFour hood vents.

white rocket 01-14-2022 09:29 AM

Like I needed another reason to be depressed that we'll never see this absolute gem of an automobile.

Agreed on that Circuit Package!! Gawddman :sweetjesus: :sweetjesus: :sweetjesus: :sweetjesus: :sweetjesus:

headhunt3r 01-14-2022 02:03 PM

AzNightmare 01-14-2022 05:12 PM

twitchyzero 01-14-2022 06:42 PM

Brand new eight-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission option with competition-standard rapid shifting
