I have a 2002 base PT with a manual transmission and 185,000 miles. I find it to be pretty quick. I just test drove a 2008 manual with 58,000 miles and it seems somewhat slower. The dealer said the mileage and EPA requirements might cause them to lose power. Any comments??

Both 2002 (mine) & 2008 are base models. Both manual trans. Why does the 2008 seem to have less power?

LionPT is correct. There shouldn't be a lot of differences between the two generations of PTs if they have the same tranny. A stick shift might make a small difference and of course the way the car was taken care of could affect the performance but other than that they should be about the same.

There should be no difference.
I can't compare...as all 3 of mine were Gen 2s, and one a manual. The 2005 is now a turbo, and seems to drive like my 2006 GT did. Any other difference might be mechanical... -different/clean air filters -plugs and wire -old gas sitting in the 2008 on the lot -any number of mechanical issues with the 2008

My first thought was the air cleaner. I will see if I can get it for a good price.
Thanks, guys, for the info and quick response. |
