The difference between the two is complex. The Euro engine is %95 different from US model. It has six seperate throttle bodies, larger AFM, larger Air box, solid lifter valve train, higher redline, and higher compression; the lack of an cat also helps. The US model develops peak torque much earlier but has nothing on the Euro's HP.
