The Geo metro had similar specs. It got 55hp from 3 cylinders, but also lacked a tach. 200 lbs lighter, but the wheels were smaller. I got mine up to about 90m

- cout 5y agoI loved my Metro. Got it for $500 and put $100 into a cylinder head rebuild. The sound of that 3 cylinder revving up is truly beautiful. They definitely weren't set up for racing -- the whole front of the chassis would bend under hard braking. That hasn't stopped anyone from trying, though. Perhaps the most inpressive group ever to race a Metro is the Knoxvegas Lowballers, who race in the 24 Hours of Lemons. They swapped a V6 from a Ford Contour and made the car rear engine and rear wheel drive. There aren't very many cars on the track who can keep up with a car with that power to weight ratio. It's a beautiful machine.
