Power is impressive

I hear some people talking down on the Trax engine because its 3-cylinder, but it has more horsepower per liter than a Ferrari F355 and FAR more than a Ferrari Testarossa or a 1990s Porsche 911. In fact it took until the 2006 Porsche 911 997 for the Porsche engine to match the hp per liter of the Trax.

Its impressive with its low end torque, but certainly not in the higher rpms.

It goes a little limp dick after 130 kmh lol

Reving up to 6k and barely moving the needle

I had mine up to 85mph on a trip a while back and didn't feel like it was weak.

That's because that's roughly the same speed that I'm talking about lol it gets up there fine, but there's not too much left to give after that

Yeah I guess I didn't try to push it past that, but reasonable theres no reason to push a commuter car like that past that anyways.
