horsepower

Most Protege FS-DE 2.0's dyno at around 98 - 103 whp. My Protege rocks, though. It's fast, and NA. =) Well, not really fast... But not really slow... Okay, fine, it's slow. =) Hehee. I think I should dyno up some day, though; It feels a lot snappier than it was originally, for sure.

u ave a WRX? then dont worry bout the P5 being fast(lol2)

 

[hi-perf]

LOL...

<----fastest all-motor Protege in North America(pretty sad eh?)

im pretty sure that one of the rally proteges will beat you, if not smoke you on a drag strip.

i wouldnt tote that title just yet. maybe because you are uncontested =)

so a stock 2002 protege5 has 130hp...

what's the torque then?


and, roughly...

by adding an injen and a catback exhaust, you'll gain maybe...10hp tops?

The torque on the P5 is 135 ft/lbs, or so. And yeah, the WRX is fast stock, but the RX7 Turbo II that's getting a new engine dropped in right now is the real reason I've not sunk so much money into the Protege. =) The P5 is just fun to tinker with! Hehee.

I'm sure one of the 225hp SCCA P5s could smoke me too, but they're not drag cars. Until someone shows a drag slip faster than 15.7 in the mean time, I'm allowed to say I'm the fastest don't you think?

No different from someone who wins a gold metal in the Olympics in 100m. I'm there's someone on the planet who might be able to beat him, but unless he shows up to compete, it doesn't matter.

i think its ok to say you are the fastest n/a, on this message board at least...
