you could check the specs for your car and just go from there.....unless you have stuff done to your car.

Re: how can l know, how much horsepower do l have?

1. tie a rope to your car
2. have the rope set up to lift a 33,000 lb widget on the other end
3. drive for 1 minute
4. measure how many feet off the ground the widget has been lifted. The # of feet the widget has been lifted is the amount of HP your car has.

Or, you can take it to a dyno.

Re: how can l know, how much horsepower do l have?

Count the number of yellow stickers on your car and multiply that number by 20, add that number to the stock rated horsepower of your car, add another 50 if you have an aftermarket spoiler/wing, and 10 per any other mod and you have the HP total actually reaching the ground.....







.....hey, that's the way they calculate it in the Fast and Furious.....
