Corolla vs Starlet for racing

[sparco79]

Hello,

I want to buy a car for racing - slalom, hillclim,... I have a choice of two cars - Corolla E11 63kW or Starlet P9 55kW. I want to ask, what car do you recommend? I mainly need speed on the hills. I had a Starlet P8 (0-100 in 10.5s) and it wasn't enough, but before I could make adjustments I had an accident. The Corolla does it in 12.5s and the P9 in 11.2s on paper. Turbo is out of the question due to the rules, I can change the gearbox and possibly willing to invest around 500€ in the engine. Which car do you think is more capable? What modifications or what transmission do you recommend? Thanks

The Starlet seems more popular and I've seen lots of modded ones floating about on the roads (Or more accurately screaming past  )

Don't know much about the E11 - Very rarely even see one!
