hey,
i think we have a misunderstanding here... im talkin in BHP here...stock NA's(mkiv) have 220....dont they? unless toyotas overrated their BHP..which i doubt they'd do....but i added 10 BHP to the 220 BHP to get my estimate of 230(for the intake). my itake is for the turbo MkIII and rated at 14 bhp and i was given an estimate of 8 or 9 of those for the non turbo MKIv. so thats where the 230 came from. the avalon has 200 BHP FWD and is mighty quick...i can feel the lack of top slightly tho. id actualy love to find an after market part or two for that and add some lowering spring...and make it actally handle to keep up with the speed.

its a 98 avalon...and looks somewhat sleek from the side profile..nice stock rims... would be fun to mess with. plus i coudl fit ALL my friends in it and its covered in leather and fake wood
i would love to race em, but that would require one of my friends driving one of em..cuz my dad surely woudlnt go for that

and i really dont want my friends driving it...not very responsible. if i do ill let u guys know tho.
SIDENOTE. my friend has a 185 hp 210 tq pont grand am gt. falls short in quality in my opinion, but quick none the less.. ive never lined up with him but we drive around alot and he is always right with me. my question is why? his car isnt much lighter...and its a 35 BHP difference...our cars have the same amt of torque...is this allowing him to keep up with me at speeds below 60? i know torque matters more initially and then HP takes over for higher speeds and rev's.
