World’s Angriest Cough Drop: This 500 Horsepower Toyota Starlet Is A Ripper!


World’s Angriest Cough Drop: This 500 Horsepower Toyota Starlet Is A Ripper!

Oh good lord is this thing angry. It’s a Toyota Starlet, a tiny little car that under normal circumstances is best left to MPG-touting types and frugal commuters. This particular example, on the other hand, is anything but. “STALET” is a well-known feature down under, a turbocharged ripsaw of a car that gives every crappy econo-styled front-drive hatchback a goal to reach towards. If this car ran 13s, we’d be celebrating it on high as the perfect daily driver. If it ran elevens, we’d be over the moon. Nah…this thing is a mid-10 car all day long and the builder is hoping to get even more out of the Refrigerator White three-door hatchback. Shoving 40 PSI of boost through a 1.5L four-banger, the Starlet is good for 501 horsepower at the wheels and is banging gears through a sequential shifter. And according to the folks at Fullboost, the car is street legal. In Australia? Seriously?
