:D

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. :)

w00t! Can I borrow it sometime?

1994 Chevy Corsica 3.1 V6 155hp 185tq It moves along nicely from 0-40, then it loses some of it's snap. It's still a quick, cheap family car.

Come to the next Toronto GTG (whenever that may be) and i'll let you take it for a spin!

BTW, with the injectors, a cold air intake, and software to take advantage of the extra equipment, it'll be around 170hp/300+ft.lbs.

Not bad for a 1.9L diesel eh? :D

Not enough. I have a 1989 Chevy Cavalier. I can't imagine it makes more than about 120 or so horsepower. :(

I dunno
'91 Dakota w/318ci
'99 Tahoe w/350ci
'96 Escort w/?



But, we are going shopping tomarrow for a '02 Camaro(310hp) for my wife to replace the Escort.


PS: I talked her into stopping at an Acura dealership to test drive a RSX, but she's all into looks.

Can I change my vote? I voted 0-50 before seeing the "I have no car" option.

My car has 200 HP, but I'm thinking of putting some Japanese stickers on it. Can I vote for 201-250 instead? ;)

Easily - Just a "Type R" sticker would add at least that much!

My race car has:
Horsepower: 70hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 74ft-lbs. @ 3500 rpm
