Dyno Showdown: Unveiling the Horsepower Champions of Donut's Car Collection

In a quest to determine the mightiest steed in their automotive stable, the Donut team decided to subject their collection of cars to the ultimate test of power - the dyno. With anticipation running high, they began with the enigmatic Alibaba purchase, the Chang Lee pickup truck. With its purported 1500 watts of power, the team was left scratching their heads, unsure of what that actually meant. But with a dino guessing game afoot, they put their wits to the test, each taking a stab at the truck's horsepower. The results? A resounding zero. Yes, you heard that right, zero horsepower. It seems this truck's claim to fame lies elsewhere, as it offers comfort and amenities aplenty, albeit with a distinct lack of power.

Undeterred by the truck's feeble showing, the team moved on to their E36, a 1998 328i. With a history of overheating and a stock M52 engine, they weren't expecting fireworks. But lo and behold, the E36 surprised them with a modest 175.8 horsepower. A small victory for the team, but a reminder that sometimes, even the most unassuming cars can pack a punch.

Next up was the revered 500 EG Civic, boasting a K28 swap Type R motor and an array of performance enhancements. With bated breath, the team awaited the dyno's verdict. And it did not disappoint. The Civic roared to life with an impressive 200.406 horsepower, solidifying its status as a fan favorite.

But the dyno wasn't finished yet. The team tested their Toyota Tacomas, their Mazda Miata, their Subaru WRXs, and even a Dodge Ram 2500 van. Each vehicle had its moment in the spotlight, revealing its true power potential. Some fell short, while others exceeded expectations. But through it all, the team's enthusiasm remained unwavering.

In the end, it was the Hi Z car that stole the show, with a respectable 403 horsepower. The team celebrated their collective efforts, acknowledging the hard work and dedication that went into each and every one of their beloved machines. It was a day filled with surprises, triumphs, and a fair share of disappointments. But such is the nature of the dyno.
