190hp, what on a 550 originally?

They had between 70, and 83-85 stock. Only on alcohol could the later 4 cam engines reach 90hp. However, with about 80 hp, they did 0-60 in around 5 sec.

Weight was around 450kg, that's in ready to race trim! That's a pretty good little package!!!

And yes, with 190 (or more!) hp, it would be one little fast car.

You know what, they sell exact replica (from the drawings) of this car's chasis, with fiberglass panels. Only around $8-14k, and dropping a flat 6 can't be too much trouble... THAT would kick some serious butt.
