Maybe.  Do you remember a commercial from the 80s for the Toyota Corolla
Twin Cam 16 (iirc)?  It was set at the drag strip and two guys in the stands
kept saying, "What's he got in that?"

Don't remember that car selling well, maybe because it was a Toyota, or a
Corolla....or a Toyota Corolla 4-cylinder at the drag strip.
