176 at the rear wheels. Remember the car only weighs 1650lbs.
Very reliable, starts instantly, idles at 750rpm and pulls like a freight train to 7400rpm. The custom 5 speed allows me to cruise all day on the interstate. It gets 28mpg on a steady highwayt cruise but I can easily go through a tank cruising the streets on a Friday night.
