What a waste of an AE86

Toyota Corolla AE86 Drag Car Runs 8s on Dragstrip

By Erin Riches | December 24, 2009

Though the production car will almost certainly bear a different name, the Toyota FT-86 pays big homage to the rear-drive Corolla AE-86. These Corollas are regularly spotted at drift and autocross events, but this drag car is the most interesting one we've laid eyes on in a while.
This car apparently started with the 2JZGTE 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 from the Supra, but has reportedly been modified to deliver about 800 horsepower -- 80 of which come courtesy of a nitrous shot. Now it's said to be capable of running a quarter-mile in the 8s.

i wonder if they're only using the nitrous to spool the turbo... that would make more sense to me than running 720hp with boost, and the last 80 with nitrous.

Well, the 2JZ is known for being capable of making HP figures well beyond that. 720 isn't anywhere near mind-boggling from a 2JZ.

I wouldn't say its a waste of a hachi. I'm not a drag fan myself by any means, but I would be lying completely if I said I wouldn't enjoy myself being inside an 86 and going 0-60 in lightning fast fashion.

Of course the 86 has better uses imho, but cool car nonetheless. They also get kudo's from me for making it a bloody panda!

I was angry when I first entered, but it's so clean and 8's, I, I, think I can excuse this.
