Default Standards for H.P. corr. factors ??


I get a kick out of the 100 HP VW's, especially.

Even 80hp should have you rolling on the floor :-)

After waving the magical 80hp flag at a tent-full of round-eyed
admirers the next kerchief out of his sleeve is usually "3.3 gph"
followed by a round of patting himself on the back in routine worth of
a French circus. Are we great or what?

Truth is, if you know engines and want some serious fun, get a bunch
of real engine guys together and show them the Aero-vee assembly
video. I swear to God it's the funniest thing I've seen in years.
Seriously. Most guys assume it's a put-on. When they realize it's
being sold as a 'expert advice' their reactions range from blowing
beer out their nose to simply sitting there in stunned amazement.
