4 months ago i had a 87 lxi hatch with 230,000 miles on it It hauled i toped it a 135 (guessing cause the speedo went to 130) anyway i sold that car and bought another one 87 lxi hatch. it was the same way at first, really fast. but latley it is really down on power it tops a 105 if im lucky. the only thing that has happened to it is that it overheated once because of the thermostat, but after it was replaced it ran fine w/ lots of power.

have you run a fuel system cleaner? Maybe your injectors are dirty. Also, check your spark plugs. If you drive it hard, they may be fouled.

when was the last time you did the tune up on that car.
