Did you get the standard or the SVT Cobra high performance version? ( it had the high output 1.3 liter big block) They were de-rated for insurance reasons. I think advertised horsepower was 27, but I know on the dyno, they were turning well over 29.

Seriously, that's a good idea. I drove an old beater Datsun for years as a work car, It got 30 mpg. I could leave the keys in it , the windows down and a sign that said Free Car, and nobody would even take it.
