100bhp from a petrol 1.6? get real.

The 100bhp mark in a 1.6 was passed many moons ago,


Lord Hall, what is the average BHP for 1600s on the market?


No idea, do your own research I can't be arsed.


Lord Hall, but you were saying 1600s produce more BHP than the QE2.

As you drive around in
your glorified washing machine ponder the fact that with forced
induction and toxic jungle juice they were getting around 1500bhp out
of a 1.5 litre back in the 1980's.


Does that mean a 1600cc today can drive a tanker?

Lord Hall, you are clearly mad. The Prius averages 60mpg, and doesn't
pollute like hell in towns.


The Passat, like all mass market vehicles on sale today meets the
latest EU4 emission regulations: 749 mile range, 0-62 in 9.8 seconds,
130mph and a combined cycle mpg of 48.7. On finding out these facts
the devastated Toyota Prius designer has just picked up his sword as
the words "game over" flashed in front of his eyes.
