You don't need a lot of hp to get them going. I don't know exact weight, but I'd guess under 2500 lbs.
The thing to do is to pretend you didn't use full power. If your face says you were going for a Sunday drive, how would she know? Then of course you could wave her in, as if you could have blown by. It's all in the game face.
Perhaps you have a '92 9000S, not a CS, which wasn't introduced until the next year, had 170 hp LPT engine. The '92 9000S has a 150 normally-aspirated engine, and at about 3100 lbs., I would guess 0-60 in about 9.5 seconds with 5-spd.? Anybody with actual numbers?
