to my mind, 174hp out of 2.4 liter naturally aspirated motor with a lot of torque is A ROCKET by any means.
Well, I guess it's because "I" haven't driven it to see what it could actually do (blind people can't drive, stupid law! -:). Mama doesn't really put her foot into it no matter how much I want her to do it. It must have quite a lot of power in reserve. Her PT Cruiser which preceded the HHR had 150HP out of a 2.4L DOHC 16 valve 4 cylinder with 167LbFt of torque, IIRC. If these engines were in lighter cars rather than pulling 3200LB around, , zippy would be an understatement!
