Toyota should launch a more powerful model of the Altis to steal the Speed King crown from that SiR. The engine is a 1.8-liter VVTL-i found in the Celica and Matrix. Plus add in the 6-speed transmission. That should translate to 0-100 km/h acceleration of around 7 seconds and a top speed of over 220. And if this will be sold at less than a million, there will be a lot of buyers! :twisted:
but the problem is if you put a very powerful car to a stupid driver, disaster would surely happen. that's why imprezas are sold very high even though it's just a 4-door saloon. no offense to sir owners but some owners want speed but doesn't know how to handle it. that's why we have lots of accidents involving sir's. having that powerful car, the driver should have advance driving lessons or track experience.

but the local civic sir also had very minimal safety features as compared to other sedans on the market. No ABS brake, no airbag, etc. A good thing though is that its got 4 wheel disc brakes but the choice of stock tires also sucked.
well, those lack of safety features should've gone into the heads of those drivers, but no!... they still pushed the car.. and when its time to stop!.. *bam!*..... then they'll put the blame in lousy safety features.... i still think it's all in the driver. If he knows his car is not safe... then why drive the hell out of it??

AGREE!!! Know the limits of your car and drive within those limits!
know the limits of your car, know your limits too!.. if your limits is over teh limits of your car, then drive within the limits of your car.. if your limits is below the limits of your car, then drive within your personal limits.....
ika nga.. ang kotse.. kahit mabagal o mabilis.. kung nde naman nirerespeto ng may ari.. maaring maaksidente talaga.....
Straight-line speed? Anyone can do that! What cannot be done by just any person is to control his car according to its power. Thus those accidents that see people killed. :!: Sadly, marami kasi sa ating puro pakitang-gilas lang sa mga kargadong kotse. Wala naman palang binatbat!
So before you speed up, better make sure you can handle the true potential of your car! But still, on with the 180-hp Altis here! :mrgreen:
guys, whats the true hp rating ba of the 2zz-ge engine of toyota? kasi, when sportcompact magazine dyno tested the matrix(1.8), 159.9 hp lumabas. they dyno tested it first b4 they installed a turbo charger. after installing the turbo, 210+ hp na.
Yung figures published by manufacturers ay flywheel horsepower. Dynotests measure wheel horsepower. There is a corresponding power loss as the power is transmitted from the flywheel through the transmission and drivetrain. It is not 100% efficient.
