Super7 Turbocharged November 14, 2004 Share November 14, 2004 Hi Guys, I am helping my good friend to find out more about this model selling new at $109K (OMV $31K)......., hope you guys may know a thing or two about this plain looking model. We saw it at the PI showroom today, it looks like a Corolla G9 but it's a five door hatchback with body kit and the PI claims that it has about 220ps with TRD tuned 1800cc engine. Anyone knows about this model and it's 0-100 sprint time?? For the price, what other similar models can my friend consider? He's looking for something fast, but low-key looking. Many thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_mouz Neutral Newbie November 15, 2004 Share November 15, 2004 Got the info from this site. http://www.cartoday.com/content/car_magazi...ndex1.asp?id=21 Our 8,58 seconds 0-100 km/h time was reached after much experimentation - it is quite a challenge to achieve exactly the right amount of wheelspin - but it compares favourably with other hot hatches, of which Volkswagen's fractionally faster Golf GTi is probably the main target. We did, however, expect a higher top speed than the recorded 205 km/h. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneofakind Neutral Newbie November 24, 2004 Share November 24, 2004 Those performance figures are rather shabby for a car which is supposed to have 220ps. Infact for such a light car, such figures are nothing short of appalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie November 24, 2004 Share November 24, 2004 if im nt wrong its similar to the toyota corolla sportivo in australia...hatchback as well with ard 200hp high revving vvti engine...1.8L as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie November 24, 2004 Share November 24, 2004 there are lotsa cases in aus whereby a DC2R (integra type R ) with 200hp wld totally outrun a toyota corolla sportivo with similar 200hp by a big stretch..its just a drag racing..nt with corners and stuffs...it was said that the corolla comes with mismatched long gear ratios whereas the DC2R comes with tested short ratio gearbox...with the mismatched gearbox on the corolla sportivo, it doesnt compliments the engine's capability..
