sorry i didnt mean to confuse, but hp and acceleration is a very subjective thing. I used to own a wee 1 litre 99hp charade that went like **** of a shovel. when i first bought my jap wrx with 260bhp the charade i felt was as quick as that. again subjective, as the power to weight figures dont add up.
Was it a wee charade GTTI? They were a cracking wee car as they were a 993 cc turbocharged 3 cylinder weapon!! Brakes were awful if I remember right

Thats a good one because after mine I bought a pug miami blue 1.9 GTI. Although I managed to sell my Charade. The throttle response of the 205 GTI was awesome and I loved my half leather seats and the raspy note from the exhause but the wee Charade was quicker
Just see the back of her in this photo along with my favouite car of that era
