its a turbo and nitrous geo... i thought it was interesting to read, but the main reason for the post was...
1991 Geo Storm
Bragging Rights
* 1/4 Mile15.49 sec @ 88 mph
* Top Speed159 mph
* HP250
* Weight2282 lbs
* SPL4 dB
Major Upgrades
* extrude-honed
* port and polish
* nitrous
* turbo
* engine swap
* bore-increase

how does it have 250 hp, and only weigh 2,282 lbs... and still only get a mid 15 second in the 1/4 mile? is it because of torque... or what? I mean cmon... our cars have 200 hp weigh ~3,300 and are high-mid 15 sec. cars... cmon...


second... why in the world would you mod a geo...:tdown:, waste of time IMO, unless you wanna be WAY different...

Re: custom geo

that cant be right....maybe a bad driver or an extremely ****ty tranmission with super super super horrible gearing?

Re: custom geo

well if your read, with his earlier turbo, he made about 200 hp... and still only got 15.8 somthing on the 1/4 mile... so i think its right, i think he means 15 second

Re: custom geo

I still cant believe that something has to be wrong...you cant weight that much, have that much power and be that slow...something isnt adding up sorry...

Re: custom geo

Just going off a cheap 1/4 mile calculator he should be high 12's with that power to weight.

Re: custom geo

Re: custom geo

called it a mini camaro

someone has an imagination. lol

My steph-father wants one, he wants to put al all wheel drive suburu engine and rear on it.. his words "So I can smoke Camaros"... he thinks he is hot stuff because he had a 3cyl motor and beat a camaro z28, the ONLY reason why he smoked the guy was because the Camaro sat there for a few secons spinning its tires as he pulled away.. So yeah his head got big from there..

So one day when he wins the Ohio Lotto... he is going to make his geo dreams come true... One day he says, One Day... lol

same reason someone would beef up a VW bug, because we all have nothing else better to do... So why not?
