the geo is slow as hell

 

Yea anyone who says their bike has XXXhp compared to a car can lick my *****. Obviously torque is important up to a point. All performance reasons aside, that metro has got to get some DAMN good gas mileage

 

HP probably means more on a bike than it does on your car. Moving 400-500lbs compared to 2000+ lbs is a big difference. The bad thing is even "slow" sport bikes have about half the torque of the typical honda.

 

You gotta remember even with the Geo it was completely stripped to hell with no dash and just the cluster attached to the dash support bar and it still looked slow. I think just the combination of light engine/tranny, light chassis, fwd conf. would be wheel spin city and once you actually got moving would be scary as hell and would just float around without some real diffusers,spoilers to keep it planted.
