North American AE86 specifications

There are three types of Corolla Sport RWD for the US market: DX, SR5, and GT-S, though the DX was generally an internal Toyota designation, as brochures, and advertising do not include the DX designation; it consisted of a lower trim level, lighter duty suspension parts and the like.

Since my brother had this car for awhile before he moved on to his Nissan 180SX, would be interesting to list out the Toyota Corolla AE86 specification for general interest. I even had a neighbor who actually still remembered my brother’s old AE86 and that was something like 10 years ago! Anyway, the specs here should give those car enthusiast buff a look-see at the specs.
