Why newer Punto GTs have less horsepower?
First Punto GTs (Nov 93-Jun 94) have 136 HP. They had some injection computer problems. They were decreased to 133 HP and during Fall 1996 to 130 HP for those guidelines mentioned below. (Marco Tenuti) I have heard that the Punto GT has been downgraded to pass new EEC emission guidelines, resulting in a slight decrease in horsepower. The Cars imported into the UK after January 1997 are affected.
