1976 Toyota corolla SR5 2 Door Hardtop with a 1.6L I4 carbureted delivered a published 75 hp. Tachometer red was 6700 rpm, and engine was only really happy above 3800 rpm. Drive the car and manage the engine (with 5 speed stick) as if it were a Inline 750-4 Honda, and all was well. Topped out somewhere above 110.

H.P. liked it---65 in a 35!

Heh, from an engineering and performance perspective that Corolla probably kicked the butt of any British car that ever rolled off the production line!

But I must say-that MG was a lot of fun to drive, but mechanically and electrically, it sucked.

But it sure was fun to drive! I put about 140K on it...and I loved it as only a young man can love his first car he bought and owned...
