Just had a call from my dealer
Yippee, they are delivering my new car on Tuesday. Vectra SRI 150.
Can anyone tell me what the feck PS is a measure of?. Is it more or less that of a good old fashioned brake horse. At least you can't metrificate a horse. They are the same here as in froggy land or is a PS a weak froggy horse. Well whatever it is I get 150 of them with 320 whatever (NM?) of torque. Already told the lad that the insurance won't let him near it. Lie of course it is insured for any driver, but I being blamed for spoling his fun.

A PS is a Kraut horsey, not a Froggy one.
PS = PferdeStarke.
