So this is in stock form or modified? Is it for sale in the US? I'm confused.

The exterior is stock besides a 1" drop, JDM tails and upper griile. Only about 5000 Corolla XRS's were made and are available in the US. This happens to have a GReddy SC on it.

So the S/C is a mod? I'm asking because the emblem looks factory, but I've never seen one anywhere. Usually just says "XRS"
 
Digging the corolla just cause its different. Really interested in seeing the interior. I've been driving a Corolla S lately since my car is in the shop. The Mugen Si is of course hot in a lot of ways but want more info on the Xrs. I don't see much of those locally either.
 
that si i si not worth the money. i friend owned one for a month then traded it in... you dont want to modify it cause it's a themed car already and it's extremely overpriced.
 
yea i saw a mugen si on the road the other day, was surprised somebody forked over more than 30k for a civic. it did look nice, but 30k+ is too much
 
Funny thing is, the corolla probably faster and cost less even with the supercharger. The Mugen in a good looking car but waaaaaaaaaay overpriced.

That XRS is nice and stealth. Any numbers?

The SC badge is from a CobaltSS. The interior has leather and the dash has a kit on it. All aftermarket and all done by the driver/owner himself.

Edit:

You can find more on this Corolla at www.9thgencorolla.com. It belongs to the member sethman2000. Might find a lot in the pics of rides forum.

There are vids on there of the rolla motorboating the Mugen.

yeah the mugen is like 30g's and doesnt even have leather. i would rather spend that money on something else. i really dont like the looks of the corolla. how much hp with the SC?
 
Its a very comfortable ride but I were looking for comfort I'd be in something like a TSX. Its fun to drive and show off. I liked playing Brian Spilner for a couple of hrs but I'd never drop 30k on a Civic unless I was loaded and bored and looking something rare to add to my collection. (only 1000 were made)

So they just let you take it for couple hours? That's pretty cool. It seems that with a car like this they would only allow "serious buyers" or whatever.
