Down a REALLY big hill ????
NO, really, in a little stock 4cyl ?????
No hills.
The Pinto (2.0 L) I drag raced so it was pretty potent.
The Celica (stock DOHC 2.0 L)was ECU limited to 115. I would do that all day long when I was in Italy.
The Metro now has a 1.6 L motor. The car weighs nothing and the 25% increase in torque from the engine swap makes the difference.
