Haha... yes... Corolla is quite fast dont think it is a slow are although only 1.6...
My friend tried to chase a Proton(Our Malaysian National Car) 2.0 before. He is Driving a Japanese Version Levin 1.6 Manual, He was able to trail at the back all the time but he don't have the guts to overtake coz the road is dangerous...
I just got my Japanese Version 1.5 Auto Engine and new set of springs and adsober fit into my car last week... Tried to trail some 1.6 or higher cars... Successful...
But yesterday could not follow a 1.6 car cause of Traffic, damn!!!
That guy was very snooblish, driving a Proton 1.6 (WAJA New model)...
I can trail him at 1st although i haven't full push to the limit...
I dare not push too hard because i haven take the car to get authority inspection and change my enigne no. at the registeration card... If i crash no Insurance...
Toyota Corolla is good man High Reliablility....

Enjoy Driving
