i understand what youre saying. i just dont understand where you got these definitions or why people think calling something that can go 200mph quick or something that goes 0-60 in under 5 seconds is wrong.

i never said that. i was saying 2300 lbs shouldnt be enough to make the corolla into what a lot of people think it is. i feel like the engine was more remarkable than the chassis. especially for its time.
