Amazing how things change, isn't it?

200 bhp out of a 3.2 V6 (wasn't it?) would be pretty terrible these days. Same as 0-60 in 7 seconds is not much to write home about.

A similar thing has happened to hot hatches, an old VW Golf GTi / Peugeot 205 GTi would seem very slow now, but somehow far more fun!
