My 1992 geo convertible came with 50 hp.
This lil beast comes with 123hp.
60hp would of sufficed, if it was a true economy car.
I know people add 100hp to their 3 cylinders but it is not at all needed.
Oil companies must be up in arms over all these high rpm low mpg vehicles that are hitting the pumps.
Ass backwards engineering if i do say so my self.. I was hoping for a gas miser out of this revamped 3 banger. Bummer

its specs below


Engine:
Turbo 1.0L I3
Power:
123 HP / 125 LB-FT
Transmission:
6-Speed Manual
0-60 Time:
11 Seconds (est.)
Drivetrain:
Front-Wheel Drive
Curb Weight:
2,800 LBS
