Measuring Horsepower

Does anyone know of a way to measure the horsepower of a Geo? I'm kind of curious to see what I'm running at. Whether or not I'm at my full potential. Just thaough I'd leave this out here and see if anybody knows how to do this.

dyno, or take it to the track. dynos are not accurate but they are precise (HP will vary from dyno to dyno but a single dyno will have repeat results). taking it to the track would require lots of calculations to determine actual HP. if it were me i'd just take it to the next test and tune session at your local drag strip. there are always some slow cars out there so you won't be alone

Metros don't have horsepower.

They have ponypower
