Most of those cars actually had more power. There was a gentleman’s agreement in Japan to limit power to 276, but in reality those cars put out a bit more and were simply advertised as having 276HP to prevent raised eyebrows from the public.

Thanks for the upload! In Australia, GM's local branch, Holden, took this platform, lengthened and widened it, and used it as a VN Commodore. Holden's hotrod offshoot, HSV (owned by Tom Walkingshaw) made a Group A version with an injected 5litre V8. Contemporary road tests showed that the Vauxhall was the quickest, tho the mighty injected cast iron ohv wasn't disgraced. Those were the days 😁👍

@ToreDL87 3 жыл бұрын
Well if you want luxury AND performance then yes, the little Toyota is a goner. But I've had one of those "shitboxes" for over a decade now, and have driven various German performance sedans over the years. The German stuff simply cant do low-mid speed corners, not like a Toyota anyway, if I turn in the same way I do with the Corolla they just understeer. Literally the speed with which the Corolla enters a corner catches even me (the owner & driver) by surprise sometimes. My dad drove the Corolla once and turned into an intersection, and nearly did a 180 on the spot. And look at prices, some guys below says Carlton's are in the 120k area now, you get 10 Corolla's in good nick for that price. Then there's insurance, from what I heard of U.K insurance rates: Lotus Carlton = Sell your house to pay the insurance for a year. A Toyota Corolla? Insurance companies don't think twice about them, you can probably insure DOZENS of them before you even get near. And while yes, insurance companies are a bit daft considering probably a greater ratio of Corolla's have gone into the ditch than Carlton's, but still, they charge what they charge. As far as burglary, I'd imagine Carlton's and 86's to be about equally desireable (the 86 probably more so because of the cartoon), but when someone steals your Carlton, you're out 120k, if your 86 disappears overnight, you've got another 108k to spend LOL
@joseph291 2 жыл бұрын
Ill agree with you on that one because the AE86 is a very good car to throw about in the corners because of it's decent handling and it's 50/50 weight distrubution but the down side of the car is that it only has around 112-118hp so not so much on the straights. The AE86 has a 4AGE and if you put enough work into it you will be quite quick on the straights (if you arent already) but overall the AE86 is a good car and is loved by many such as (alot) of the Irish, Initial D fans and the Drift King himself Keiichi Tsuchiya.
