c36 hp vs pk
I have a little question for you guys. does anybody know why the c36 claims to only have 268 or 276 like in these articles http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...6/viewall.html (276)
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...6/viewall.html (268)
In german car reviews it claims to have 280pk wich should be the same number in hp,280?
All I know is that the c36 really has 280pk for all years.
Is there any difference between the us and the euro version? 0-60 time in the article is wrong btw, after the engine is broken in it does 5.7. (for every c36 this number can be a bit different, but 5.7 is what we got when we tested it a few times last summer.)
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I think I found out why: The usa version has an adapted ecu due to stricter emission rules! also they use less octane in fuel in the USA wich makes the car slower!

That would make sense, the euro versions definitely have their differences i.e., they sit lower than U.S. 36's , cloth seats, trim and there could be more apart from sitting on the other side of the car in some countries.
