Why 06 has lower hp?

Post by Jon6873 »

Hi,I am wondering why 04 vibes are rated at 130hp and 06 is at 126hp?I think it is because of the new sae rules on engine hp measurement.Is this true?Thanks.

That's what I read a while ago. Sounds true to me I think it's the same old Corolla engine.

theres no actual loss in hp, at that time they just changed the way they measure the hp.
