Really man?
Many people seem to forget that most foreign 3/4-bangers produced between 75-100hp for many years before the engines became more powerful to appeal to North American's thirst for power in a smaller car. Take for example the 95 civic. 75 hp. And it was not a rolling road hazard. Most common people don't do 0-60 in 4 seconds.. 10-12 is fine for normal driving. Even my 91 golf had less power than that and kept up with on-ramp traffic no problem.
