engine make?

oh puh-leez....I had one of these three-bangers - folks called it a pregnant roller skate,
but it got 40 mpg, was a ragtop, & could hit 90mph on the interstate easy - I drove from
San Antonio to Dallas doing 90-95mph on I-35 with the top down & the AC on with no petrol
stops back in the early 1990's - it was a sweet little car & I regret selling it - the new
owners (kinfolk) didn't maintain it (like forgetting to change oil & stuff like that...) &
fried the engine about two years after I sold it...
OB Mustang-mania - I wanted a Mustang convertible, but they were out of my price range
when I got the Metro convertible - I was still a poor engineering student...now, I have
1965 Mustang ragtop...

I have a '90 Geo metro. You can't beat them to drive around in, they are
easy to work on also. Keeps miles off my other cars!
I was thinking about taking it to be dyno'd when I take my Mustang.
If I do I will post the results on the newsgroup.
My guess it the car has about 75hp, but it is hard to tell.

I had a 90 4 door
it had 85hp (factory numbers)
I drove it to Cali and bake to Okl with 3 adults and we only spent $75 that
was food and gas!

I think it is something offensively low like 50hp.

About as much as my lawnmower. Serious though it puts out 55
hp. Step up the the mighty 4 and you get a whopping 79.

unless I miss my guess.....I would say just enough to make it worthwhile to
drive....as opposed to walking that is.....

Some folks around here raise the rear hatch to nearly DOUBLE their
horsepower! (the hatch acts as a sail)
Add a K&N and you would surely be close to triple digits.
They considered producing a "Powered by GEO" sticker for the side door
panel, but couldn't find a font small enough such that the entire line
would fit on one side.

Dont forget, riceboy math tells us: That sticker would add about 60 or so hp.

What the hell is a Geo? Suzuki I assume, and a little hatch. They did
build one with 100hp, but then again, it sounds like a motorcycle. If
I want 100hp from an engine that size, I'll just buy the friggin bike!
Suzuki of course, to keep it in the family.
