Stratovarius Turbocharged September 20, 2017 Share September 20, 2017 I found this piece of info of my old car magazine. Space for the Gtti Cc, power, torque, fuel system, top speed and century Sprint. 8.3sec is bloody fast in 1990. To put things to perspective: - Toyota MR2 8.2 secs - Nissan 200sx 9.1 secs - Swift GTI 8.5 secs - Ford Escort XR3i 10 sec Cars back then were lighter. No much accessories and safety features and with little emission control. A stock 1.6 NA B16 back then can generate 160hp. Those were the good days. Nowadays, cars are loaded with electronic controls and the inevitable EV cars in the future. All these classics will become history. The GTi is very tastefully done.

Pocus Turbocharged September 20, 2017 Share September 20, 2017 (edited) Cars back then were lighter. No much accessories and safety features and with little emission control.

All these classics will become history. The GTi is very tastefully done. That was the day when there's no environmental impact. There are a few evolution to engine that negates and hinders the output power over the course of my lifetime. - introduction of unleaded petrol - introduction of catalytic converters (precursor to emission standard but only for CO) - tougher euro emission standards If not for these standards... at current tech a 1.6NA engine can do 200bhp or above quite easily...
