And dont forget the headlights which sap more power from the engine than you could gain from some of the more popular mods.
And I will call BS on the >200 wheel-hp without FI or E85.
In stock form, our car generates 200 hp at the crank and ~175 hp at the wheels.
That is a 12.5% drivetrain loss.
If you wanted to get 200 hp at the wheels, you would need 225 hp at the crank.
That is 112.5 hp/liter which is pretty much in the top 10 hp/liter for ANY production car.
And it is almost the same as a Porsche 911 GTS which costs ~$110,000 (113 hp/liter)
If there was ANY way that the toyota engineers could get world class performance from mere "bolt-ons" and no E85 required,
wouldnt they have done that??
