I seem to have hit the wall at 190hp with the Cherokee I used to own. The most powerful vehicle I own today is a 170hp Nissan Xterra which can actually be outrun by its own shadow, when it actually runs at all. Come to think of it, if you add up the horsepower of all 4 of my cars, it is optimistically 510hp...roughly the same as 1 Jaguar XF-R.

At least until we do an LS7 swap into that 240.

I didn't remember a Cavalier -oops Cimarron- had that much power, musta been a supa hi-po V6.
About 2/3rds of the cars I have owned have had at least 160 hp, some quite a bit more. Lowest power was the 77 Civic 1.5L CVCC, highest was the 454 Big Block in a Camaro, 12.5 compression, huge cam, carb, etc. That was when I was into drag racing. Now I do the autox/chasing cones thing.

Yeah, I thought that figure was a bit "optimistic" but it's all I could find. I swear they had to use a shoehorn and some Vaseline to get that stinking 2.8l V6 in there. I remember when I squinted REAL hard I could almost make the badge say "V8"... Wouldn't have done any good though, I couldn't change half the sparkplugs as it was.
