In this thrilling episode by Savagegeese, we dive headfirst into a high-stakes showdown between two GR Corolla Circuit cars - one stock and one souped-up. It's a battle of the budgets as we witness the clash between a $65,000 beast and its modified counterpart with $5,000 to $10,000 worth of enhancements. The goal? To push these cars to their limits on both the track and the street while maintaining the essence of what makes them truly special - their versatility.

Our expert panel includes the likes of Graham, the wizard behind engine tuning for the GR Corolla platform, Ben from Limit Plus One, a maestro in selling and building Corolla parts, and Grant from Anex Suspension, who delves into the nitty-gritty of chassis dynamics. Wyatt from MCS Suspension adds his expertise to the mix, ensuring that every aspect of these cars' performance is scrutinized and optimized. As we peel back the layers of these machines, we uncover both their strengths and weaknesses, shedding light on the reality of owning and modifying these Japanese gems.

From weak front bumper clips to the infamous "Subaru smell," the team doesn't hold back in sharing their experiences with the GR Corolla. The high car boasts top-of-the-line upgrades like MCS suspension and AP S6 big brake kit, while the low car opts for Annex coilovers and stock calipers. Ben's insights into common issues like overheating and engine failures provide a stark reminder of the challenges that come with pushing these cars to their limits. As the battle rages on, it becomes clear that achieving the perfect balance between performance and reliability is no easy feat in the world of modified cars.
