What engines can you think of that had a very low specific output for the time they were produced? I'm thinking engines like the Iron Duke...
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This heap. 2.0 Inline 6 twin cam, 153hp. Gets ruined by ST’s and GTI’s on the daily
Don’t forget the Russians, they had some crappy gas to work with so cars like the Gaz Volga or the Gaz Chaika should be mentioned
55bhp 1.2l VW Fox
Cadillac 500. 8l was downgraded to 160 hü in the 70s.
1.8l British leyland B series 1798cc and about 75hp
1976 Cadilac 500ci….. A whopping 190hp!!
the toyota hiace 5th gen engine only 2.0l 72hp
1996 Ford Taurus SHO V8…only 3.4L and 235 hp
GM 3100 V6 only with 160hp. May seem decent, but for the big Luminas and some Monte Carlos Chevy put them in, they’re definitely not enough
The 1982 Camaro had a terrible engine line up: 2.5L Iron Duke L4, 88hp. 2.8L V6, 112hp. LG4 5.0L V8, 150hp. LU5 5.0L V8 with fuel injection, 165hp. L69 5.0L V8, 190hp.
