Early 80s Corolla GTS

Yep..the Sprinter Trueno in the US is a 1986-1989 Corolla GTS hatch, if you're looking for one, I wish you the best of luck, you might need it , but it'd be awesome if ya got one.

'86-'89? I'm not trying to contradict you or anything, but I thought the '83 and '84 were included too.

I've only actually seen two in real life. One was by my house and in crummy condition. The other was in Tennessee. My family was driving home from South Carolina, where we went on vacation, and we saw one at a restaraunt. It was silver, and in PERFECT condition, with an old man driving it. Cool car.

thanks for the info! now ill have to check the used car listings around here and see what i can find........if i do find one (and if i get it, i dont have my license yet) should i put the tofu shop decal on the side?

[Snow]

Absolutely. But only if it's white. The only two I've ever seen were silver.

[Comrade_Boris]

if its not white, ill get it painted panda style! thats the only way to go!



a side note: i have a tureno in Gran Turismo 3, its at 139HP, top speed: about 140MPH, and 15.9 foot/pounds of torque....the torque is what kills me in races......and its my only car until i win some with big cash prizes.........im going to start a new file, what car should i start with? (must be under 18,000 credits.....)

[Snow]

Miatas are good, but I wouldn't suggest giving up on the Trueno. They can be made pretty fast. BTW, don't ever expect torque in Gran Turismo. For some reason, they don't seem to value torque like they value horsepower. No upgrades seem to affect the torque ratings.

[Comrade_Boris]

the only car that has torque is the Lancer Evolution VI rally car prototype......260HP 275 foot/pounds of torque........

[maikeru]

let me go check the rating on my trueno......... in the game it's running 304hp at 34.0ft.lb ot torque, but it onleweighs like 897 kg. so it's pretty fast ne ways.

Get all gold in the Rally license tests, then you'll win a Subaru Impreza Rally Edition with which you can win all rally races easily. After that you'll have plenty of money to buy pretty much any car you want for the non-rally races and equip it with everything you need. And I heavily recommend a GT-R

If you find all gold in the rally license tests too hard, try going for all gold in the B license. You get a nice MX-5 for that, and you keep the initial 18.000 which you can use to trick out the Miata. Those are the best two strategies to start out IMO
