Default how much power do these cars lose over the years?

hey,

Just wondering how much power do you guys think these cars lose over the years due to wear and tear.

Ive got a 97 GSR with 160,000 KM's on it, someone wanna take an educated guess on how much power it has now.


Thanks

Do a compression check. If numbers are within spec, the hp should be right around factory hp #'s.

Only real way to find out. If you have 160k km, and some other dude that has the same number of miles and beat the hell out of it every one of those miles, think they'd be the same?

Should I just go to the dealer to get it done?

How much does it usually cost, and if its not up to spec is there anything that can be done?

It's pretty easy to DIY, go to sears hardware and get a tester for like 20 bucks and look a tutorial on how to use it.

How much does it usually cost like 150 , and if its not up to spec is there anything that can be done?Tune up, Change plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fual filter, pcv valve, seafoam, ect. </TD></TR></TABLE>
