Check your fast car privilege

I think a 4 cyl Jeep Wrangler geared ultra low is the slowest vehicle Ive ever driven. Lots of torque to get scooting from stopped, but runs out of breathe after 2nd gear and then the throttle becomes an On/Off button

no clue what hp my Buick Encore has. it's slow as shit but gets 30mpg and has sirius. that's all I give a shit about

127 :)

A modern 120hp shitbox with a 6 speed auto or CVT is a world of a difference between an old 120 hp shitbox with a 4 speed auto, or 5 speed manual. I think Dodge Neons even had a 3 speed auto.

Different how?

1.6 or Ecoboost 1.0?

1.0 eco

105 hp when new, might be less now.

0-45 is pretty decent if you go flat out, beat a couple riced civics surprisingly, modded vw's too.

45-60 takes just as long if not longer though.

I'll be honest, I don't really trust the 1l 3cyl Ecoboost engines. Specifically told a mate of mine to go for the 1.6 over the 1.0, although he got a pre-facelift car and yours looks like a post-facelift, so maybe they fixed the issues the early engines were having.
Pretty nice car overall though.

114hp, but whatevs, it's lightweight, and it sounds alright.

185 when new, I'm sure it has half of that now however

Why so slow? My Focus has 160 horses.

Because it's my first car and it's new, I didn't want to spend extra 2 to 3 k for the bigger engine.

It should be fine these days, I've heard lots of stories from every manufacturer. I got from this year post face lift so it should be all right with the warrantee and everything

100hp checking in

Try 89hp.... 28 years ago.
Right now probably making 50.

Isnt marbella one of those disgusting resort towns?

I wouldn't say it's ONLY that, but yeah. I live in Malaga and this was taken on a highway that goes past Marbella on my way to visit a friend

Malaga is chill, been there a few times when I was a kid, parents let me have a ton of that sweet wine you guys have

>120hp

Feels plenty fast to me.
Faster than a Dodge Dart GT anyways.

As someone who lives 5mins from Tijuana and lived in Boston for 9 years, at least Massholes work with pedestrians.

Its a fun shitbox

110 up in this bad boy

190hp?
Get outta here and take your racecar with you

Compared to my last car, pic related, which had 113hp (supposedly) , it certainly feels like a racecar

88hp here (less now since it's over 10 years old)

Ugly and slow, but I have no desire to ever get rid of it, until it blows up or gets wrecked

>35 years old
>67hp from factory

Fucking plebians in this thread don't even understand the concept of the slow life

>this gatekeeping im better than you attitude

Must be absolutely miserable having to know you in real life

It is no one can handle my autism faggot. Sorry you're fast :^)

>Honda still hasn't made a turbocharged Fit Si
Life is suffering.

110 HP.

i love the look of those and really would like to buy a new station wagon but everything comes with tiny turbocharged engines! all I want is a basic N/A 4 cylinder bigger than 1.8

325hp and get rekt by soccer moms suvs daily

130 on a good day, here.

I'll have to apologise for you next time I see your mum : > )

It comes with nice wheels. White is a nice color as well. Enjoy your Focus.

Jokes on you faggot I have 2 dads :

Why is it the shitposts that always get dubs?

>tfw driving a 2000 minivan
the definition of comfy

Ditto. You irish?

A fellow vtec driver i see

2012 with 117HP here, what year is yours?

my 2.9 has 135hp and 170ft/lbs of torque. its pretty quick off the line but it is lacking in the top in

>slow
>new car

ha, nice 1

It's so boring driving mine

i-is a new car with 90hp and 1.2t going to be /slow/?

Unless its a motorcycle

/slow/ life isn't that bad right?
right??

nah its comfy af, both my cars are slow

what's slow anyway in terms of top speed
or 0-100

55mph

I have a 2012 Fit Sport, same Milano Red as yours.

I'm pretty sure we're fitbros now.

I just bought a 94 accord 2.2 vtec. only 145 HP but it is a blast to fucking drive.

slow car fast is fun.

for reference a prius is 112 MPH

120hp to the FRONT wheels, the ONLY place power should be

fug forgot pic

59. That'd be bad enough, but the power maxes at 4800 and it doesn't redline until 6000. Blueballs every single time.

167hp to the front wheels, my mazda 3 is really fun in tight corners.

Does yours have the shitty nav suite?

I was fixated on getting a Fit when I got a car (not a lot of dosh, but needed something that could carry a bunch of shit) and one with nav was the only thing in my area.

Thanks, definitely will.

It's enough for a minivan.

>75 german demon machine econobox
Still beats driving a fiat

>has honda fit
>complains its slow

~70hp ED6 hatch here. fuck all of you

the 4 cylinder is pretty ok

It used to be 95, years ago. Fun af.

to clarify this car is a DX auto hatch that had the D15b2 (100hp) swapped for a d15b6 (72hp)

I am using the stock ECU/fuel injection (dual-point tb injected)

Basically it is around 30 hp slower than stock. instead of a 6800 rpm redline it has a 5200 redline

normies don't realize I gained around 20 MPG over stock. (30 vs 50)

Might be a smoother ride but I don't see how it would be much different, the number of gears doesn't mean much.

Someone picked one of these up for me and I am coming to pick it up next weekend. It's gonna be my first car and according to Google it makes 95 hp. So I am guessing now it makes 90. But it's manual and I am happy to try my first car

It's only racekar if it's light.

Get out of the way, 75hp slowbox coming in

106 hp 2016 base model versa
4 cylinders of fury

75, or so Wikipedia says.
Probably more like 50-something though, it's almost 16 years old.

130 HP club reporting in

>85 bhp
yes thats right 85... 8 fucking 5.
>0-60 in god knows when since i literally havent found an empty stretch of road long enough to test it
>corners like a barge in syrup
at least it's reliable

Also that was 23 years ago so idk what its making anymore

148 from my 3 fella

What's the aftermarket on a regular focus?

They're damn cheap, even for a cpo, and I'm looking at getting a hatch soon.

Fuck double post, but also interested in the base fiesta. How do you like it/seen any aftermarket on it?

1985 exmilitary Land rover 110
2.5l non turbo diesel
65hp when new - at the crank.
Its slow as fuck, loud and tops out at 55mph
I still love driving it around

Pic related, very similar

My DD has 92hp. I enjoy it. My DD for 9 years previous was a 4cyl Tacoma and this little 1.5L shitbox will smoke the fuck out of my truck.

tfw 126hp

They're slow but they have excellent handling and the 5-speed version really helps in making the car feel more alive.

Aftermarket for non-ST fiesta's is pretty limited but CAI, exhaust systems, and chassis/suspension parts are available.

Trucks are geared for low end torque so you shouldn't be all that surprised.

>tfw 127hp
2,800lbs as well
my bitch is hebby

115 horses from factory.

Probably closer to 100 considering the previous owners.

Yours must be auto, then. Even the base engine revs very high and I find the steering quite responsive.

Yup, mine is auto. Only when I turn off OD that it will rev high while driving on highway. They said the timing cover is sipping a bit of oil. I wonder does that impact there cars performance a lot

I couldn't tell you, but the 1zzfe seems to be a solid engine.

i test drove an mr2 spyder with the 1zz. My word for it was 'adequate'. That little engine provides plenty of pep in such a small car, but its still slow

It revs slowly, and I wish the VVT engaged sooner. I like having some low end torque, though.

90hp

i try to race everyone

170hp 177ftlb tq 5speed

Still slow

>1950lb
>90hp
>4speed manual

Honestly, this car is super fun to fling around, I got it as a winter beater.
