How much power does you car make?

[notfred]

If oyu have more than one car, pick whichever you want to use, it has to be your car though, not a friend's or relative's.

If you want to post more numbers, like torque, weight, or anything else, psot them in the thread.

 

[notfred]

the other thread got all messed up, so I made a new one.

 

[toph99]

i have no car, but both of my parents' cars make 150hp(manufacturer's spec)

 

[bacillus]

'94 GMC Sonoma 4.3 Vortec V6 190HP

I'm a member of the 400+ club

Next we need a Torque poll

460HP
550TQ
5300lbs

1999 GM 5.3 Whipple charged @ 7lbs of boost.

if you do a torque poll i should get my friend's mom to post her Volvo truck's specs, ~600hp and ~1700 ft-lbs iirc

it also goes 12000-15000 miles between oil changes gotta love diesels. at 2477lbs, the engine itself weighs more than some people's cars

No car makes any power. It converts the stored energy in the fuel to torque which turns the wheels at considerably less than 100% efficiency.

I know what you meant to ask, and it's just a semantic argument. Just trying to keep the language straight.

Hmm, I posted this in the other thread.

Street car: 140hp

Race car: 620hp

Wasn't there another thread like this recently?

what has been done to this car to jack its horsepower up by 50%?

--

Me: ~110 hp. Carrying people around this weekend with AC on has been a punishing experience so this afternoon I drove into a couple of car lots

 

[prodigy]

145 @ 6,000 RPM
136 lb-ft @ 4,800 RPM

What are you doing to that TDI?

I'm getting my ECU reprogrammed by Upsolute. From what I can gather, it doesn't do a whole lot in terms of upping the boost, rather it sends more fuel through the injectors. (apparently VW runs a pretty lean mixture right now)

My next upgrade after that will be some european injectors and a new clutch to handle all of that torque.

106 w00t!

 

[vi edit]

Tuning box would be my guess.

As for me:

190HP/200'ish ft/lbs (VW Passat)

I've never seen an Accord make that kind of power or torque.

Per Honda's factory website the EX V6 Accord Coupe with VTEC makes 200 bhp and 200 ft/lbs of torque (which is quite respectable btw).

The only way you could get those numbers is with some form of forced air induction (turbo charging or super charging).
