lol no. the reason the Lotus is fast and fun is because it weighs absolutely nothing and handles like a go cart. a Corolla with 200hp would be no better than a everyday mom carThats what I thought.... Corolla Motor. Itd be awesome to swap some parts and build a 200hp sleeper Corolla

200 hp in a 2300 lb car would still be enough to surprise the hell out of most people. No way it would handle like an elise but Im talking about a city sleeper.

Good looks
Whats the response from people about the car ? On the road.... at the Gas station... in a parking lot/garage ? Does if garner a ton of attention ?
Ive seen Lambos in traffic more often than Ive seen Lotus' ... Id imagine with its extreme styling its quite the conversation starter

Thats exactly what Im talking about 91-01 Curb weight is 2200-2300 stripped out; you could get it down to 2000-2100. Even stock they're moderately quick compared to more powerful modern compacts due to their lightweight

Well its definitely a head turner, i usually have people following me on the freeway, taking pictures all the time. Or just reving their engines next to me to race.
But it seems like most people have zero idea what the car is haha. Ive had people come up to me at the pump telling me thats a nice porsche,ferrari,etc ive heard it all. I assume becuase the name isnt popular here in the states? -__-

Nice to see another Toyota owner! As long as it makes you happy that's all that matters.

Think it's time to sell my car.
Found the same car but it's a 2005 with 112xxx and 5speed special edition for a steal. My only issue is putting my car back to stock and putting everything on the new one, then trying to sell my car.
This might be the last shot of my car, taken today. Found it on IG today after a carshow I was at.
