How much HP did your first car have?
Inspired by the EVO thread. Since some say 16 year olds shouldnt have powerful cars... lets see what the members here had.
How much power did you pimp when you were 16?
Chevy s-10
Horsepower: 118 hp
Torque: 130 ft-lbs.
I rawked the house.

1974 Toyota Corona - I think it has something like 56hp. My mom originally bought the car used from a friend of a friend. It was a POC but it was MY ride. 
As long as I had mobility, I was happy.
Beetroot, sounds like you had the Trans Am model (190hp), I think.

it was black and pretty fast and looked just like the knight rider car...
I didn't really care too much about cars then...I never even noticed what kind of engine it had or anything

I had a 87 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. Started with about 180 for about the first month and then 475 dyno tested HP. 12.1 in the quarter with a carb that was a little messed up. Was an easy mid eleven car. All natural to. God I miss that car. Sold it to get a Pontiac GTP that was a mistake. Now I have my supercharged accord and Im happy again.

I think it has less than 100hp and I don't even want to think about the torque. My CLS is my fourth car and only one im proud to talk about

1984 Buick Century Limited, in gold. I don't remember the exact HP figures of the car but it had a 2.5 liter 4 cyl engine that lasted roughly 80,000 miles.

350hp. 1968 pontiac GTO in stock condition. Then I put 3x2 barrel carbs on it with a hot cam, probably 400 hp. Original red line was 5,000 rpm. After the swap, the car pulled strong to 7,000 rpm. God, I miss hood tachs.
