94 Cutlass Ciera S… “Clean as a wistle” 2.2L OHV Inline 4 2850lb estimated. Title says 2700lb… doubt it! 130 crank HP + 98k = 118HP 118HP - 20% drivetrain loss = 94WHP 2850lbs / 94 tire scuffing HP = 30.3:1 LBS per HP 94HP / 2850lbs = 0.033HP per LB! and its more than enough… ---

Im surprised it gets out of its own way alright. Its like having AWD too. You know you’re not gonna spin a tire. LOL I will redo it at advertised weight and HP just for fair comparison sake. 2700lbs / 130hp = 20.8:1 130hp / 2700lbs = 0.048 hp per lb ---

I like how the low traction light always came on when driving on ice and sliding a bit. Like no shit theres low traction. No traction control on the car so it was rather pointless. ---

Lol. my DD, 2001 Suzuki Swift 1.3. Weighs about 1500 pounds. stock it has 79hp. So stock it would be 18.9 lb/hp. But I don’t know what HP it gets with open header, 50mm tb, intake setup. According to the company, the headers give a 10hp gain. The tb gets about 9. The intake gets 3-5. Going from those numbers(which are probably too high),it has 103hp. So it would be 14.5. ---
