That Yaris made 700hp on a race fuel and ethanol mix and a 200 shot of nitrous then blew up. E85 is pump gas and there are plenty of tuned cars that make 700hp on it. KB and whipple Terminators were making 700whp 20 years ago.

>None of those cars get 30 mpg
They can get near enough with their extremely tall overdrives.
>pass emissions in Europe and Japan
Idk about the LT1 but the Modular was ULEV rated. But in the U.S. you're allowed to drive your old car into a city so this is seemingly irrelevant.
>and they all probably put less horsepower down at the wheel. I know for a fact your average LT1 makes like 230-240whp.
Your average Z28/Trans Am was also rated at 275-285hp, those are the 305hp SS/WS6. and stock SN95 Cobras dyno from 260-270whp on average.
