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.

 

86 Toyota SR5 extra cab!

"Back to the Future" truck..

I think it had like 100 hp or something.. :o

 

1991 Ford Explorer 4x4 155 hp, 236 tq. that little 4 liter v6 didnt have much horsepower but it was actually a pretty torquey motor .. decent little truck

 

I think I had about 190 hp...1984 pontiac firebird

 

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.

 

First car I drove was Honda CRV ~130hp
First car that was mine, CL-S 260hp

 

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

 

1989 Sunbird GT
110 Hp
NO TORQUE.....but it did have a kick ass system in it.

 

145?

 

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.

 

83 cavalier SW

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 Accord with a whopping 83 ponies

 

1991 Accord EX Coupe

131hp

 

Well I had a 92 mazda mpv minivan. Not sure the hp but it was a v6. I remember i could spin the back tires on it. I really enjoyed the thing even thou it was a piece of shit. I didn't have to worry about the interior and shit and i had a nice sub bumping the whole thing. Could fit like 8 people no prob.
