how aerodynamic is 85 corolla coupe?

High drag coefficient just means more room for improvement! Making the underside of the car smooth won't change the look at all and should make a difference. Also a sloping rear window shade might help.

I don't know what transmission could be used, but the Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L 3-cylinder has about the same power as the old 4A engine. And it's lighter and probably more efficient.

wow thats amazing! Thanks! i tried searching online for it but all i get is a bunch of ai garbage and unrelated stuff.

Sounds like it isn't an ideal car to build for efficiency.
I think i will build this to go fast instead.

I think it has plenty of potential either way! What might you swap in for the go fast route? Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L 3-cylinder with a big turbo?

Aerodynamic improvement addresses both; the trick would be to add downforce without increasing drag.

No substitute for motor displacement. Efficiency is a different ask.
