Damn,that is a bad-*** Corolla!!! I have much respect for the owner He must have spent a fortune on this vehicle. If I had the funds,this is how I'd do it.

that's the COST on the motor, not the car, the motor costs $50k because its a 4age (1.6L) Formula Atlantic engine used by TRD, its like Nippon F3 but runs in NA, the engine itself can rev up to 13k rpm and makes 240hp , although it does suffer being little displacement of 1.6L so it only makes 130lb ft, but I mean the car weights like 1800lbs, so it should be ok on the streets.

The builder of the engine is also supplier of rebuilt Fromula Atlantic engines, you can purchase an 4age from 'em from $18k-50K (160hp-240hp)

Indeed a bad *** ride.

But I'd HATE to drive it everyday. That car looks loud, rough, hot and a chore to drive for extended periods of time.

On a track it'd be nice tho.
