The Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno (AE86) is a small, lightweight coupe introduced by Toyota in 1983 as part of the fifth generation Toyota Corolla line-up. For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of "AE86" is used to describe the whole range. In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (the 4A) and the E86 represents the 6th revision of the fifth generation (E80 series) of the E model which is the Corolla. The main difference between the Levin and Trueno is that the former has fixed-headlights whilst the latter has pop-up headlights; the export Corolla name covers both variations. The AE86 (along with the lower spec AE85 versions) was rear wheel drive (unlike the front wheel drive AE82 models), and is said to be the last rear-drive car of its type, at a time when most passenger cars were being switched to front-drive. The AE86 was replaced in 1987 by the front wheel drive AE92 Corolla/Sprinter range. The car was also known as the Hachi-Roku(ハチロク) (the numbers "eight" (hachi, ハチ) and "six" (roku, ロク) in Japanese).

if you can, get an sr20det 240sx, it looks thousands of times better than the ae86 and can wipe the floor with the honda fanboys you'll see around your town usually. but the fc rx-7s are pretty legit cars too, especially the turbo ones. more cred in a 240sx and rx-7 too over a damn corolla haha. so get the sr20det 240sx if you can, and if not then get the rx-7. ae86 would be my last choice.
