Need help in calculating high speed run potential...

I checked some #'s on the net.. a CRX SI's engine is 1590cc/96 cu.in, weighs 2,174 lbs, @ 6000 rpm it produces 108 hp and 100 ft/lb of torque at 5000 rpm...


to reach 110 mph, the car needs 224 hp

to reach 130 mph, the car needs 369 hp

to reach 170 mph, the car would need 826 hp

if these #'s are accurate, there is no way... unless the guy installed a jet engine.
