Watch An 8-Second Toyota AE 86

 When it comes to going fast in a straight line, we all know this territory belongs to the muscle cars and the Toyota Supra which can humiliate some of them if properly tuned.

But what if we show you that a Corolla AE 86 got sick of going sideways and decided to launch itself from the Christmas Tree?

Well, there is at least one such an AE 86 and this one we found is also very fast, managing to pull out an 8.8 at around 158 mph down at the drag strip.

The clean-looking 1987 Corolla AE 86 here is powered by a custom 3SGTE engine aided by a pretty big turbocharger boosting 45 lb into the custom heads. Check it out beating its own record in the video bellow.
