Who Knew It Had This Kind Of Power Potential
This 1000-horsepower Corolla iM drift car is the ultimate hot hatch
The Toyota Corolla iM, formerly the Scion iM, is a perfectly acceptable little hatchback, but it lacks the verve and vigor of our favorite economy hatches. Papadakis Racing took care of those issues when building Fredric Aasbo's latest Rockstar Energy-sponsored drift car. It's a Corolla iM with an incredible 1,000 horsepower and rear-wheel drive.
In case you hadn't guessed from that line alone, there isn't a whole lot of Corolla iM left under the drift car's widened body. But it does still have a Toyota four-cylinder under the hood. It's a 2AR engine whose less burly cousins are found under the hoods of the RAV4 and Camry, among others. It produces the aforementioned 1,000 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque thanks to both a turbocharger pumping in 33 psi of boost and nitrous oxide injection. The power goes through a four-speed dog box transmission to the rear wheels, and the car features large fender flares at all four corners.

Audi's fastest cars won't catch your drift
Audi Sport boss says popular drift modes waste time and tires.
Drift modes are popping up in sports cars all over the world, but Audi Sport development boss Stephan Reil refuses to have anything to do with them, insisting they're a waste of time and tires. So if you want to show off with a wild-looking, tire-smoking, perfectly controlled drift in an Audi Sport model, you will have to brush up on your car control, not your button pushing.
"No drift mode. Not in the R8, not in the RS3, not in the RS6, not in the RS4," Reil said. "I don't like them. I do not see the reason for them. We do not see the sense in sitting there burning the back tires. It's not fast."

Did You Know - Microwaves Edition
You’re Microwaving Food Wrong
Well, here’s how to microwave your food properly.
Microwaves send radio waves from all sides to heat the food as opposed to conventional ovens where it comes from the top and bottom. Instead of heaping all of your food in a pile, space out your food in the shape of a donut with a circle in the middle of the plate or bowl and it will heat up much more evenly.
