What is a stupid car?

172HP from 2.7litres V6... that`s gotta be pretty stupid.

especially when:
Honda Integra Type-S 2.0litre = 200HP
and
Toyota Celica GT-S 2.0 litre = 180HP.

Well... I think with some ECU tweaking, more power can be made

else a change of the cams may be needed

I was having a 850-T5 wagon (Volvo) with an ECU upgrade it went to 280BHP
400Nm. A manual 850-R can be upgraded to 350 BHP 500Nm without damaging
the gearbox permanently. This is value for money coz in UK, the 850-R is
about 3000pounds or less. Even M'sia, the standard 850-T5 wagon is about
RM50k now. R is about 65k. Oh, any no MBC or wastegate turning yeah.

The S60-T5 can be tuned to 350BHP and 500 Nm too but on an autobox, so
again power for money is there. I think it's good, even the Ford is having
the V50 LPT 220BHP engine in their RS (2 door model). What else, I'm still
driving a Volvo now but expect to change to GTT/GTR24 in 2 years time.
Again the boxy looks which might not appeal to most.
