Not counted, but for the record....

Dumb 80'* Civic riced out passes me and gets in front and floors it. I keep up with his rear the whole way, barely even touching the pedal. Just a quick laugh for me.

Also, I didn't know those things can get up to 90!!?!?!

It'* not so much HP as it is redline rpm'* and final drive ratio (gearing).

Back in College I had a friend with a 3 banger Geo Metro. We passed a semi doing 55 at what seemed to me to be slow motion with on-coming traffic. I thought the thing was going to rattle apart...was pretty scary.
