I have read that people mod them up to 700 HP. Mine was just stock, but good enough for me. Nearly killed myself 2 weeks after I bought it. Bootleggered making a left turn. (My only prior car was a ford fiesta at the time).
People used to come up to me all the time asking what it was. Mind you - cars back then were very lame mostly, so it stood out.
Modern cars are simply insane with stock HP.
Btw, I bought it for 13k! I was literally standing on the showroom floor at a Buick dealership, and hear this ‘boobita’ sound, and a salesman says “Excuse me, sir, can you move?” I turn around and see it. It was on the floor unsold for about 30 seconds. 4-5 other people tried to buy it as I was filling out paperwork. It was a demo because it has 13,000 miles on it.
Plus, I had recently seen “The Road Warrior” in theater. Just instant sale.
