1990s 145-150bhp cars...

Niky,

i have had a 95 626 before, i swear its only 118hp....really its in the low side but torque is good. the 130hp is for those 98 onwards facelifted USDM models with fugly extended bumpers.

195/60R15 tires isnt in the low side but firestone tires are really kiinda slippery...but its even better than Corona's 195/70R14 tires. it has soft, compliant ride but has great handling.

either galant for me. the 2.0L 4G63 can still run with the best of em. not to mention the abundance of parts. close 2nd yung VR basta manual tranny.

126 lang pala yung accord... kaya pala... The GTi rocks esp if bago sya, when my folks had one dati (white) grabe ang sarap sarap nya i-drive compared to the 1.8SS carb at 2.0 MPi that we also had (addict ata sa galant erpat ko dati)... Love the seats...

With the Alty, it accelerates really well all the way to 160ish even with a 4AT, I don't like the wide turning radius, though, palaging aatras ka pa ulit sa tight parking entry like sa galleria (right wing).

626 2L has 118hp.

the 2.0 altima i think was rated at 156 hp...though meron ding 1.8L kasi noon...will have to search for that old brochure

straight line acceleration, top speed - nissan altima. trust me, 160kph would easily come unnoticed.

looks-wise, Galant GTi though...that car is going to be a true classic someday -- o hindi pa ba?

actually that 145hp quote is already an optismistic number for the Altima coz in the US the SR20DE we have in the local Altima, only has 140hp, it was fitted in the USDM b13 & b14 Sentra SER and 200SX SER, respectively. i just heard that local Altima has 145hp. i bet the 1.8 SS Altima is in the league of 120+hp something.

156hp is kinda uber. ;)

In the US, Altima comes with a KA24DE not SR20DE, they never had a SR-powered U13.

KA24DE
Specifications
Max power: 155 hp (115 kW) * 5600 rpm
Max torque: 160 ft·lbf (217 N·m) * 4400 rpm
Valve Configuration: DOHC, 16 valves
Compression ratio: 8.9:1, 9.2:1, 9.5:1

... It was the Sentra SE-R that came with the SR20DE, although a lot of people are transplanting the DET engine from the Japan U13 Bluebird Atessa.

SE-R only has SR20DE... its the local 200SX (nee Silvia) that came with SR20DET.

Maybe my 626 GLXi is the updated one... from experience, it's at least 130hp... AFAIK, no catalytic converters, no US power penalty.
It's only in the US that the FSDE has ever been rated that low in EFI form.
As for the Alty, same reason... no US emissions penalty, full 145hp... in fact, even the 140hp SE-R version was not offered for sale in Cali in the late 90s due to emissions.
