Yes, it's the same for Acura's cars. Hong Kong's Acura has slightly more HP than US models because of emission standard

what he said.

C32's SAE is rated 349 while the DIN rating is 354. it's calculation difference.

5 horse power difference means a lot if I think of a very fast motor bike is only 10 hp.

SAE 349 = DIN 354

tuneability??

aside from strapping on a supercharger i wonder what a c55 would gain with "simple" stuff like - chip, headers/exhaust????

end result maybe close to a c32 with ODPS?? at least in midrange torque?
