^Is that because the gas pedal is hung up on the floor mat? I hear that and faulty drive-by-wire accelerator pedals are all the rage on Toyotas these days.
Toyota gives new meaning to "screaming fast."
that actually happened to my parents' corolla. lol. massive recall on a bunch of toyotas.
but anyways LS9 FTWWWW

The only way to make your car faster is to get a hood with huge humps with holes in it. I believe it's called a ram air? But there are multicolored civics everywhere with D16's and ebay fart cans talking sh!t about H22's and intelligent modifications. So obviously that's the way to go.

ls engines do not work in preludes didnt you read the tear jerker about the rwd swap ?
the best 12 pages i have ever read, then the worst 13th page....enough to make you want to cry. that thread made me smile, laugh, cheer, frown, scream and sob....all in that order. lol
Dont bash on toyota they finally lived up to there slogan which is "Moving Forward". Maybe their next slogan should be something like "slowing down", or how about "Fvcking break". Anyway imo you should get a GEO METRO and drop an ls1 in that.
I think the entire toyota thing is ridiculous. They blame it on floor mats and mechanical problems? I'm sorry, but I don't remember the last time someone floored their car to get into a garage and the "pedal getting stuck" is what caused them to wreck. There is something far more serious going on, all the more reason to buy a prelude.

in jan 2008 i had a rental car taht was a toyota prius from enterprise, while driving on the freeway(yellowhead in edmonton) the pedal stuck to the point to thwre i had to reach down and pull it up out of the floor. Post haste i returned to enterprise where i was told that the Prius' are known to have that issue but only when the tempurature is colder than minus 25 celcius. I immediatly asked to trade teh rental in and had recieved a pontiac instead. At the time i though nothing of it, now i realise how severe the issues really is. i still love toyota trucks though......LONG LIVE HONDA!!
^I don't think the Prius is under the recall for the accelerator pedals. Its recall is something related to a delay from pushing the brake pedal and actually braking.
The more I hear about Toyota's lately, the less I want to buy one. They still don't have their mess figured out yet. Somewhere in Japan, the Honda and Nissan guys have got to be throwing a party. Toyota's reputation just went right down the crapper.
