The 1994 Corolla weighs 2,315 pounds, only about 20 pounds heavier than a 1994 Miata.

It has independent suspension all around. The 7th gen Corolla (93-97) was the last to have an independent rear, it changed to torsion beam after.

The 7th gen Corolla came with 2 engine options, 4A-FE and 7A-FE. The 4A-FE was rated at 105 HP from 1993-1997, but the 7A-FE had 115 HP in 1993 and 1994, and only 105 HP from 95-97. This was because it needed to be detuned for emissions purposes. (Which consequently means I have one of the fastest available 7th gen (115 HP and 5 speed). Of course that's like saying I have the fastest turtle ever made

)

What about your cars?

MX-3 came with the smallest V6 ever made, 1.8L K8. It weighs in at 2400 lbs.

The first gen Rodeos have a pickup truck-style tailgate. Not too interesting, but in a world of SUVs with hatch-type tailgate, it's kinda cool.

My Civic was the last to have the double-wishbone suspension. Then it went downhill. And although my car has tuning potential, torque is still a joke

. Oh, there's these people called "ricers" that love these cars. Whazupwidat?

-There were less than 3000 Viggens ever made. Only 504 in Lightning blue.
-"Viggen" translates to "lightning bolt" or "thunderbolt" depending on who you ask.
-The engine is the same as used in the original 9-5s and was rated at 225hp in '99, and 230hp in '00-'02/'03. Many sources say that its actually more like 250hp, but Saab/GM did not want their hot hatch entry-luxury car to have more power than the flagship 9-5 Aero.
-Torque is limited in 1st and 2nd gear.

The 2000 Rodeo has separate glass and gate. The glass flips up like on the back of a pickup cap, while the gate opens sideways. How does yours open?

My 1987 Cadillac had a small V8, 4.1l. I had a 1997 Ford Ranger with a large V6...4.1l.

My Volkswagen has a 2.5l I5. Volvo had a 2.5l I5 with about the same horsepower and torque ratings, but it was not the same engine (bore and stroke differed).
