<DIV>I remember when I was autocrossing, a guy had a toyota Corolla, one of the
last rear wheel drive coupes. His car had 150k miles on the original
engine and this guy drove the wheels off it. Those little engines also
redlined at 7500 RPM, but he constantly found his rev limiter. He couldn't
break that car as hard as he tried.</DIV>

<DIV>Try that in anything American!</DIV>
