I've read a few reviews of the sportivo and most say it's pretty slow. In a wheels mag. they compared it against clio sport, astra turbo and focus st170. As i remeber on the dyno the corolla had practically the same power as the focus and clio. Alot of other reviews gives 0-100 times in the high 8's. You would think most of the time a vti-r would beat the sportivo.
man you cant use a review to analyze how two cars will go against each other. have you read the rest of this thread.
Yeah i've read this thread but i'm saying the reviews from mags such as wheels and newspapers are from people who have driven more k's than most ppl here. I reckon their comments count alot more than someone draggin someone at the lights. There's my 2 cents.
Hahaha, seriously you cannot put the Corolla Sportivo against the DC5R like some have stated in this thread. All you need to do is take the 2 cars to the track, then all will be revealed. Remember motorposrt (in its true form) is not in a straight line ;)
joneblaze: Thanx for the comments ;)
We didn't join to argue and start negative vibes. I just wanted to clarify and try and get some credit for the sportivo. It's just so under-estimated.
Weq: tell that to a vti-r owner who has an exhaust, k&N, hanny's treatment, 8mm ignition leads, iridium sparks and so forth...who i can beat easily in my stock sportivo. *cough* tunnel vision *cough*
MKI4EVA: black.
Civ_97: might try a stock skyline then, aye? :)

im wondering if the sportivo can handle the corners carrying the extra power without under-ing
thers no doubt the sportivo will own the straights
but real men tackle the corners! ( best motoring =P)
ROFL :D :D :DQuote:

cheers, i needed a good laugh...
by the way, never heard of a car getting slower lap times as a result of gaining 40-odd kw :)
anyone in melbourne with a sportivo care to meet up with someone off the forums at caulder to prov its power?
Ehehe fair enough.. Id like to see them lined up.Quote:

off-topic:
not having a go at u, but dont quote 'hannys' as a performance modification - 'he' dosnt work on performance cars. 8mm leaders/plugs/ignition stuff dont do anything to a car also.
Hannys Performance do performance mods y0! They have seat covers!! HAHAHAHA

Got some drag coefficient comparisons to back that up?
