power, hp/rpm - 150/6000
Torque, Nm - 196/4800

does an xe usually push out that much torque??

[scott.parker]

Well that is in Nm's not ft lb of torque

UK mesure reads BHP 153 @ 6000rpm & LBFT 150 @ 4800 on astra GTE,1988-1990 model C20XE.

[scott.parker]

Wasn't there a guy on Top Gear or suchlike a while back who was a bit of a nerd and had a tidy (but crap) Lada... which they 'borrowed' from him and gave to Lotus to play with... :lol:

[scott.parker]

Yeah how smart was that,the first and last Lotus Lada,im sure it was up for sale about 6mounths ago on E bay.

Scott

[Ste L]

how much did that go for??

[J4MES]

i remember that lotus lada...was pure class...

[Stuart]

imo Kw and Nm are better since they are proper SI units and therefore make my life easier when doing engine calcuations at work :)

[Philsutton]

well at least it has one thing going for as it, as you would probably get cancer from looking at it its that shite
