I have a '97 P38 4.6 which had 220Hp when it left the factory. How much do you think it is likely to have now? I remember an old Top Gear where they had a 6 year old Renault which had dropped from 210 to 160. They got most of this back with what James May called "a good service" although not quite sure what all he was likely to have done.
I would love to put mine on a rolling road so it could be tested but not sure you can do this with the RR constant 4x4.

dont forget to let us know the result when you have done it.;)
 
dunno fer sure if it is sticky, but its certainly tappy, might try it see if it sorts it. its due for a service too. gonna have to pull my finger out!!
 
i thought that was ok considering the rest of the car is old and sloppy!!! 175 is fine fer me, it prolly would improve with a bit more tlc but i dont chase horses!!
