I drove my friends GR Corolla to 155MPH after I installed intercooler, downpipe, full exhaust, tune ECUTEC, and cold air intake. Scared to push it more without a clutch upgrade. Not to mention valve float.
And all Toyota has to do is add three more cylinders to make an inline six not a v6 and create a 3JZ. 3 for 3 litre or third gen who knows. Just do it.
After having driven a Gr Yaris for 85000 km in a 2,5 year period... the exhaust is perfect. Never had to worry abput my neighbors coming home.lat or leaving early for work. And there are a lot of options out there to make it angrier :)
@@Organdonator yeah i don't want a super loud exhaust either... ive had my yaris for over 3 years now, but the Corolla exhaust just has a slightly louder and deeper sportier note to it.
That's the craziest thing to me. The car was well into the 9s, and it's clearly not even dialed in yet. They'll break that record in no time. Who knows when 8s are coming.
My evo 8 was running high 9s at just under 140 mph. Weighed about 3000lbs. 600whp. This is doing the same time but at 156mph!!! Should be hitting or running close to 8s!
@@lukemothug i agree, 700-800 whp in a car that light should do it. A Mclaren P1 runs 9.8 at 149 with 903 at the crank, probably around 840 at the wheels weighing 3,400 kerb, I would guess this GR is probably in the 2,600 lbs range, though I'm sure it has more drag than the P1.
Great achievement for what it is, but doesn't really prove anything other than you can go as fast as you want with anything if you have unlimited money. This is irrelevant for 99.99% of people and daily use scenarios.
@dacmm here in Australia there are multiple Yaris GRs running 400 plus wheel horsepower with stock rods and pistons... that's my point. It is a potent engine with great potential, every engine has its design flaws... your comment is missing the point. The Rb26 vs 2JZ is another example of better potential. At above 500 hp the Rb can crack the block, the 2J can handle over 100hp more without an issue. Engineering still matters when money is involved.
