You can make any car go to 100mph in under 7 seconds.

It comes down to how deep your wallet is.

Push it off a cliff, it'll probably do it in less than 5 seconds.

Otherwise as others have said, in stock form. No, but if you spend the money, yes.

Push it off a cliff, should do it easily!

v=u+at, where a is 9.81m/s^2. 100 mph = 45 m/s, so the Corolla should hit the ton in around 5 seconds!

Or remove lots of weight. Close ratio gearing too. May get away with less BHP then.

I know a bloke who has a VX4/90 that could probably do it and that's a clunky old Vauxhall

I think I saw one on 5 gear or some such show and there was a corolla owned by tuning shop that did over 200 mph whilst looking pretty stock.100 kph in 7 seconds sounds about right for standard car though. edit,guess it was the fennsport demo car mentioned above.

To make a Corolla faster than a Pagani Zonder would require an extremely deep pocketsmile And a very good reason...

Is it stock? If so no.

If it has been massively modified, it is possible (but frankly unlikely IMHO).

Was just a ballpark figure. Did you enter weight correctly?
