Shows up current VW "race" engine tuners. 1970s 1.6 GTI with throttle bodies. 172bhp, 8200rpm, 11:1 compression. Check out the ratios in that 4-speed box too - 0-62 in 6s and 93mph top speed with the shortest gears! http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1335065
That's pretty damn good!!! Wonder how much torque it has, though I'd love an old skool 170BHP 1600 in my Mk1
137ftlbs at 6000 rpm. Not too bad, although it doesn't tell you how large the torque spread is, just that the "useful" rev range is 3500 to 8200rpm. Very nice.
