200 horsepower
200 lb.-ft. of torque

...No Thanks..

 

Thats pretty cool.

Gotta love the domestic forefront fighting to put rice back in their place.

 

Supercharged and intercooled and it only makes 200hp?

One SVT focus coming right up.......

 

Supercharged 1995 SC2. 2000lbs soaking wet. Should be close to 300hp.

Once I get the heads back on it

Coldie

 

12psi... I think that number should be closer to 220hp. With less weight then a WRX it should be pretty quick. Its more then likely the Ecotec from the saabs, they're tough little engines.
The really cool GM supercharged ecotech will be the solstice when it comes out.
I'm betting close to 280hp, RWD, and under 2700lbs... fun fun fun

 

wow thats gay
