so why does 06 corolla have less horses? :(

maybe toyota thinks 130 is too much so they decided to take away a few.

that is WEAK!!! wtf dood they should've increased the power to like 140-150 shit... ahhh that sucks

yes, weak
everyone in the same class as corolla is either in the 130-ish range or bumping it up to the 140-150-ish range

u guys don't read the news do u.......



The AIADA newsletter reported that the society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have developed stricter tests on horsepower that has prompted Toyota and Honda to roll back estimates on several vehicles, including the Camry and Acura RL, reported The Detroit News.

For the 2006 model year, Toyota says its Camry generates 190 horsepower, rather than 210 horsepower reported in 2005.

Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong said he hopes the changes won’t be confusing. "If you drive a 2006 or 2005, it drives the same. It’s the same car. Customers are not getting anything less or anything more."

Honda is reducing horsepower ratings across its Acura brand. The flagship RL sedan will lose 10 horsepower, to 290 from 300. The popular MDX SUV will fall from a rating of 265 to 253. Less powerful models such as the Civic will see smaller reductions.

Honda spokesman Mike Spencer predicted it would take a few years for customers to understand the changes as a result of the new SAE tests. "We’ve been using SAE procedures all along, it’s just that SAE changed their procedures," he said.

Guys, its the same engine that has the same amount of hp, just on a different scale.

its more exact if u ask me. our stock cars like dyno in at probably 100hp max

1.8-liter DOHC 16-valve VVT-I
4-cylinder
126 hp @ 6000 rpm;
122 lb.-ft. @ 4200 rpm

its not that big of a loss.... its more exact, and honda did the same thing all across the board too

The camry gets even a bigger drop, going from 210 to 190...

There's nothing TO do... the power output of the engine never changed. The way it is MEASURED is changed. It doesn't make the car slower just because the number they are allowed to publish is now lower.

its like a dynojet Vs. Mustang dyno

first time i've seen this info.
good info.

A similar thing happened in the Seventies, when the SAE defined more stringent standards for measuring horsepower. The 225 cu. in. Slant Six engine in the 1972 Dart was published as having around 100HP when the 1971 model year was advertised as having 145HP. The cars drove the same, but some people just get fixated on numbers.

It seems it's happening all over again.

eh screw it nothin we can do there I guess..... meh they should raise the powa ehehehe

They should start showing curves instead of peaks.

it's not like the 130hp number wasn't under-stated in the first place anyway. My rolla dyno'd 122.5whp bone stock. No way in hell it was 130 at the crank to put 122 at the wheels. Same engine, same power... just now they're stating CLOSER to what the cars actually put to the wheels (m/t models at least)

hmm, yeah I saw that in the news too. I think the corvette GAINED 5 hp whereas most imports lost some (on paper). If you read the (corolla) article, the writer makes it sound like the corolla DID lose power, I guess HE doesn't watch the news either!!

if you wanna raise the power get the rolla xrs and if you want to save gas get the 06 rolla.

i dunno bout u, but i've gotta save my gas...

This can be more realistic numbers for all 1zz after 2003.
