I owned a Sportivo Corolla and I would say they would do a Euro once they go into lift and fourth gear forget it. With minor mods would ie intake would easily do a Euro. Sorry Guys I love the Euro I have but the Corolla is very quick. And since I have owned both ..well you can understand I have first hand knowledge.

That's the initial impression I got despite the short time behind the wheels of Corolla Sportivo. However, telling some Honda drivers that some other cars are faster is like throwing eggs at a brick wall.
From what I have heard, the 05 model is even better than the 03 model.

i'm sorry that doesnt make any sense...14.5?? type s is a 15 sec car and no way will a sportivo be that quick.

I happened to drive my friend's Sportivo last night too! That nifty car is quick and it's stock and got only 10000 plus kms on it... I have to agree.. Stock vs. Stock, the car will beat the euro. From my drive, it's slow of the line but the top end pulls.....

sorry guys but even driving one you couldnt come to that conclusion...diff cars and the corolla is no way near as refined as the euro...check quarter mile figures for the two......i'm sorry but the quickest i have seen for a sportivo is low 16s..mattell here on these forums ran a 15.5 in his euro stock and i have seen figures of 15.23 for a stock euro..anyone who has actually had a proper drag race at a track will know there is a heck of a diff in even .5 sec...the sportivo may rev hard no doubt but as quick as the euro it is not and 14.5 no way....

sometimes cant really base on figures all the time due to weather and road conditions or what sort of wheels, tires, or even the engine oil makes a little difference ....and not many drivers are going to rev launch their car to get 15.5...also depends on drivers

0.5 secs would probably be a differences on 1-2 car length in terms of 1/4mile i think
