It is not all about power, it is how you put the power on ground and control it.

which 3sgte were you getting, it ranges from 180-260 horses, what was the tranny code, I very much doubt that the swap can be done perfectly, never seen that motor in 9th gen corolla.

Even if it is done, with so much power on front the car can be unstoppable and roll pretty easily.

The best handling local car I have ever driven is a VTI 7th gen Civic.

8th gen civic comes 2nd and 5th gen city comes 3rd.

There was also a 4th gen 1.5L city with 110HP vtec motor, an excellent power to weight ratio but body roll was evident in sharp cornering, and road grip was also not very good.

If you love to drive, I would recommend to buy a 2004-06 Eagle eye Civic VTI PROSMATEC, driven on petrol around 50K on odometer.

spend 50-70K on high performance tires, intake and exhaust and you will be good to go.

I would definitely go for the City, it has better suspensions, interior, aerodynamics, handling, brakes, gearbox and a more powerful, lightweight, greener and simply better engine.
