It is, and the coupe is a stunner, I was seriously considering a V6.

Meh, it's alright but nothing special. I prefer the handling, it's quite good fun for what it is. Well, either that or I've got used to its crap handling now and think it's good :lol:

Common sense should tell you that a 3.2 Merc should not be producing more torque than a 2005 Viper.
 
Me- '99 Ford Taurus (3.0L OHV V6)- 145 HP/170 ft-lb.
Grandfather- '97 Ford Exploder (4.0L SOHC V6)- 205 HP/240 ft-lb.
Dad- '01 Daewoo Lanos (1.6L 4 cyl)- 105 HP/106 ft-lb.
'91 GMC Rally 3500 STX (5.7L V8)- 195 HP/290 ft-lb. (workvan from boss, dad's the only one that drives it)
Other Grandfather- '05 GMC Canyon (3.5L I5)- 220 HP/225 ft-lb
'04 Jeep Wrangler (2.4L 4 cyl)- 147 HP/165 ft-lb

Total = 822 HP/906 ft-lb torque :)

Updated total = 1017 HP/1196 ft-lb torque, for an average of 169.5 hp per family member
 
It's pretty pathetic now, especially from my brothers side.

Me: 2001 Lexus IS300: 215
Mom: 1999 Ford Explorer: 206
Brother: Honda Civic: 110 and Honda Civic Hybrid: 110 (I think.)

Total: 641

Back in the day:

Me: IS300: 215
Mom: Explorer: 206
Dad: Acura CL Type-S: 260
Brother: Acura CL Type-S: 260

Total: 941
 
Toyota Previa 2.4l- 135hp
Citroen ZX 1.4 D I think ~70hp

Grand total.... 205hp... That gets me a Jaguar S-Type 2.7 Diesel. Sound familiar?

Now, if we include uncles aunties cousins... we get.
Ford Fiestas x 2
Rover 25Si
Ford Mondeo STTDCi
BMW 325Ci
Subaru Impreza WRX (Long lost, I never see cousin who's like 35)
Vauxhall Zafira
Ford Focus ST170

Not even gonna bother doing the maths, as I have no idea the exact spec.
 
No idea of accurate power due to age and mileage of vehicles etc but it is close enough.

Me: 1990 Nissan Skyline GTS-4 (R32) [I6, 2.0l, 4WD, turbo] - 215 hp
Dad: 1994 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Convertable [V8, 5.0l, rwd, na] - 215 hp also?
Mum: 1992 Mazda MS-6 Efini [V6, 1.8l, fwd, na] - 140 hp?
Brother 01: 1991 Nissan Skyline GTS-25 (R32) [I6, 2.5l, rwd, na] - 170 hp?
Brother 01: 1990 Ford Fairmont [I6, 3.9l, rwd, na] - 120 hp? Anyone know? It is kinda gutless to be honest.
Brother 02: 1986 Mazda RX-7 Turbo [rotary, 1.3l, rwd, turbo] - 200 hp?
Brother 02: 1986 Mazda 626 [I4?, 1.3l?, fwd, na] - 120 hp?

Total: 1,180 hp
Haven't included grandparents' 1991 Honda Civic nor other grandparent's 1979? Toyota Corolla.
 
VW Passat 2.0 - 115hp
Renault Clio 1.4 - 80hp
Total - 195hp

Lowest so far. And I'm pretty sure the Clio is no longer producing 80hp. :lol:

Anyway, the figure will increase when my dad gets his Skyline. :D
 
Mom-1998 Doddge Durango-275bhp when new.
Dad-1993 Buick LeSabre-170bhp when new.
Grandmother-1996 Chevrolet Lumina-215bhp when new.

GT=660bhp, Same as the Ferrari Enzo
 
Well, using Parker's info....

330Ci - 235Hp
M3 - 321Hp
3000GT VR4 - 282Hp

That's 838Hp. Don't exactly know what that can go up against besides maybe a Koenigsegg CC8S.
 
We should do one that has the least power per number of cars. A family friend of ours has an entire garage filled of all old (newest is 1976) rear engined cars. He has:

1976 VW Bus - 70hp
2 Corvair Greenbriers - ~190hp (combined)
1966 Corvair Monza - 110hp
195# Fiat Multipla - 28hp
Subaru 360 Van - 25hp
1958 BMW 600 - 20hp

So for seven cars, that's 443 hp. But his daily drivers are a '92 BMW 318 convertible and an '04 Mazda6 Wagon.



As far as my car, well, 1979 Super Beetle, 48hp. I don't feel like tallying up the rest of my families, because that's going to take a long time.
 
Well, there's my AE86 with the Gr.A motor, that's about 200PS, and my dad's STi Ver. VI, about 280...


Just kidding.

WRX (Mine) - 227HP
G35 (Dad's) - 298HP
Prius (Mom's) - ~150HP

675HP.
 
Hmm... This is combining the two halves (divorced parents) of my family.
1992 Eagle Talon TSi (Mine) - 190 hp
1998 Chevrolet Astro - 190 hp
1991 Miata - 120 hp
1995 Pontiac Bonneville - 205 hp
1982 Mercedes 300SD - ~100 hp
1995 Dodge Neon - ~130 hp
______________
935 hp

That's not including my stepbrothers/sisters.

Oh, and
1977 GlasPly 28' - 520 hp
__________
1455 hp.

So.. when I get it back in a couple weeks, It might have.. 280?

Let us know how it goes, I'm extra interested how the cam is after that cam thread. :)
 
Ford Fairmont: 220hp
Ford Laser: 66hp
Mazda B2000: Erm, 15? Okay no, lets say 80hp
Honda Prelude: 160hp
Honda CRX: 160hp
Honda Civic: 160hp (but not for long, 350+whp here I come!)

846hp.

Mum has the first, dad has the 2nd and 3rd cars, sister has the prelude and the CRX and Civic are mine.
 
I tend to regard my "family" as me, the wife, and my daughter. However, opening it up somewhat brings more power, especially since my 87 year old grandmother has a Saab 9-5 Aero HOT @ 250bhp...
