Nathan,
I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that the
difference in rated output of the US and Euro engines
is very similar. I'd bet the Euro quote is a DIN
figure and the US quote is an SAE figure. Still, I'm
sure that there is some emissions stuff on the US car
that isn't present in the Euro car as well that could
account for some of the difference.
Then again, it could be fuel/ignition mapping, which
would be a consequence of emissions as well.
Just some thoughts.
Regards,
Ben Pender
