Max hp for fwd

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

This talk about 200hp being the most you can put through the front
wheels is a lot of crap. Case in point, early 70's in the US, Olds
Toronado with a 455cid large block turning the front wheels. I know for
a fact that a 455cid motor, even in stock trim, puts out more than
200hp. I can't recall ever hearing of somebody killing themselves just
because they had a car with more that 200hp turning the front wheels. As
was pointed out in the original post, VW's new/improved VR6 now puts out
204hp, Buick has their supercharged 3800 V6 putting out 240hp, and it's
capable of more, too bad the auto trans it's bolted up to can't handle
more [longivety problems]. We've also got the Dodge Intrepid putting
220hp to the ground through fwd, the list goes on and on. There will
always be nay-sayers that claim it can't be done, then some practical
person comes along and proves them wrong.

Just my $.02
