Lets settle this once and for all!

Which OPPOnaut has the LEAST amount of HP, both “ When N ew Engine HP" and estimated (actual engine HP )

I’ll go first:

1995 Rally Rolls-Royce (XV10) features a S-Line 4 cylinder. Specifically, the 5S-LE 2.2L that was rated at an Earth shattering:

130 HP !!!!!!

After the original owner put 10 0k calm miles on it and my 40k mostly WOT race car miles, I think it’s at around:

95?-100 HP !!!

So what’s up yall!

Who dare challenges !?!?

I used to own a Nissan 720 that had 107 hp out of a 4 cylinder (27hp per cylinder) . My Caprice Wagon has a 305 in it producing 165hp (or 20.5hp per cylinder).

V60 - 240 hp (60hp per cylinder)

El Camino - 300ish (37.5 hp per cylinder)

N15 Nissan Almera 1,4 64kw so around 85-87 hp when new.

My 1986 Dodge Ram started out with 105hp in 1986 with a curb weight of 3599lbs.

I would estimate that at least half of those horses have escaped and the ones that remain look like this:

I guess it depends on crank hp or wheel hp.  My cruiser has between 130-150 whp.  For 5400 lbs, its not a lot.

as others have been doing mental math to calculate how many horses have escaped over the years

I can confirm, scientifically, mathematically , not just guesstimately , that mine has zero horsepowers now

My first car, a 1991 Civic had 92 horsepower. It was extremely light though, so with the 5 speed it was a little ripper. It was an unkillable car. Well, until I got hit by a garbage truck.........

It looked exactly like this bad boy:

My 1969 beetle had what ... 50 hp, maybe, on a good day, with a tailwind and all the good bumper stickers.

The Camaro has maybe 250hp. That’s a big maybe. The X5 has an even 300hp . So while I won’t win, I might win for the cars that you’d think would have more power but don’t.

For a few years I owned a second-gen Honda Insight, in which the LDA engine produces 87 hrsprs before electric motor assist. That was the least powerful car I’ve ever owned, but certainly not the least one owned by any Oppo. None of my current cars reach that low .

My Honda Cub was factory rated at 6.08 horsepower. The .08 is important, can't leave that off.

8 years ago, my Chevy Cruze had 136 horsepower. If I don’t want to nuke the trans in the process, I think I could get maybe 120 on the Dyno and still drive home.

The original engine in my 1975 1502 was 1.5l and 75 horse. The eingine that is in it now is a 1.8l. Stock it was rated for 90-105hp I think closer to 90hp with the solex carb.

It’s now sporting a 292 degree cam, forged internals , and two 40mm weber DCOEs. No idea on power but it sound good.

lmao at everyone in this post with more than, or close to 100 hp.

Rabbit’s got 45. Or at least it will when I get this engine put together and in the car. Need to get on that....

Golf, with the big cam and stuff, like... 120? 125? Jetta’s got the stock 115, til I put the biggest cam I can find and some headers on there. Audi and Cabriolet have the same 90hp counterflow 8v in em.

Uh... the Batavus has like... 2?

Wait, the Matrix made that much? That's more than I would have thought. I think I have the least hp of a modern four pot at 136 but not all that is transferred through the trans.

Well, my Boostang has a dyno-confirmed 380hp after mods, and my 931 should have between 150-160hp.

I’m pretty sure we’re waiting until the modern V8 pony/muscle car or Corvette Oppos speak up at this point .

The Jankwagen has the B230F motor , and the F is important. That F means it’s a low compression engine, which derates it from a thunderous 130 HP to a measly 114 HP. Mind you these ratings only applied   33 years and 228k miles ago.

As it currently sits, the motor mounts are so bad it’s probably losing half that horsepower just in engine rock. I t’s also got a clogged PCV and damaged front cam seal , and other unknown maladies. Th e car literally will not pull outside of 3rd gear/40 MPH . I’m thinking it’s currently making something in the neighborhood of 40-50 HP.

Humdrum, my 2009 Hyundai Accent hatch was rated at 110hp when new. It’s not too old yet, really, so I’d guess it’s still around 105hp or so.

My Volvo turbo made a healthy 133 horsepower in 1983, though I suspect the current figure is considerably less after a hard 266,000 miles.

The Miata makes 155 horsepower , but weighs about 2300lbs.

It was at pretty low speeds so not life threatening.

I grew up on a lake in rural northern Minnesota, where to access our home (and a few other neighbors), you had to take a fairly narrow windy road that had a steep drop off one one side, and a sharp incl ine on the other.

O ne morning in February after it had snowed about 6 inches, I’m on my way to school, driving fairly slow on the windy part of the road. A s I’m coming around a right hander, where visibility is blocked around the bend by the fairly vertical hill, the garbage truck is coming around directly at me. Th e problem is, he’s hugging the inside of the road, which is not where he is supposed to be. By the time we saw each other, it was too late. We both slid, and ended up meeting head on. My poor little civic was pushed dire ctly backwards about 100 feet but the nose of the dump truck, mostly because the road was so slippery from the fresh snow.

I was 16 at the time, so being made of rubber and jelly, I was completely fine. No injuries at all. The truck driver literally thought he had killed me, and it messed him up so bad he ended up quitting a few months later, which I feel bad for. Like I said I was fine.

The scary/funny thing (depending on how you look at it) is that the top of my Civic bumper didn’t even come up to the bottom of the garbage truck’s, s o the impact went di rectly into my grille/headlight area, and taco’d the hood, and destroyed the top of the motor.

Had the road not been snowy and slick, I fear the outcome would have been way worse, either that or it wouldn’t have happened at all, since we would have been able to stop in time.

Oh man...I completely forgot to check my ‘93 F150 with the 4.9...a whopping 145HP, but the 265 ft-lbs helps it feel better than it is

Current cars: the L eaf has 107 electroponies rated, and I guess still has them - can’t see why electric motors should lose power with age. The Kubota has 21 but I guess once you allow tractors you have to allow ride- ons and P ower wheels, and then where will it end?

Ever: My R enault 4 had a tire -shredding 34 when new, and considering it had a blown head gasket most of the time I owned it, probably a lot less in practice. And that was the bourgeoisie 1100cc version - if I’d bought the 845 like proper peasants drove, it’d have been a lot less.

It theoretically only has 2k miles on it but it also sat in a shed for a decade so it's probably only putting down like 4hp

Maybe not...my 1993 F150 has 145HP at the crank and has a curb wright of ~4300 lbs. For comparison his Cruiser is rated to 212HP at the crank and has a listed curb weight of ~4700 lbs

The 6 gears and adequate torque make 136 hp feel neither dangerously slow nor annoying slow but just the right kind of slow. It doesn't rev at all though and there is a noticable delay from foot to the floor to power coming through.

Mileage is good, but could be better.

I think the Vibe got the 1ZZ engine, which is decent. Toyota made a 2ZZ, a hopped up version with better cams and some other improvements, that made 180 HP.

Also, I think it’s funny that the turbo Cruze only makes 2 HP more than the NA Cruze. I do make a bit more torque though.

Yes, it really is all in the torque and fuel economy but it does come at the price of reliability. The 1.8 just doesn't rev at all but that 1ZZ can if what I've heard is correct.

Yea, that’s why I said listed. I assumed you added quite a few pounds with the modifications and gear. I assume my F150 is still fairly close to the listed weight.

My Acclaim when I got it had the raving 2.5L TBI 4cyl.

Best guess when I got it, 70 hp at the crank ? It was only half running on any cylinder thanks to a blown HG.

The BEW in my tdi beetle was rated at 100 HP (up from 90 HP of the old ALH!). I chipped it at roughly 95k miles. The claim on the chip was +30HP and it felt like a new car. Now, at 203k miles, it feels slower than it did new. I really need to clean that intake and fix a boost leak
