My understanding is the US and EU cars put out the same hp. The JDM cars put out a little more due to higher compression since they have higher octane available.

I thought the US made 240 and the EU made like 237? Due to lower compression.

Isn't the compression higher on the JDM s2000's than the us spec ones though to compensate for the higher gas octane?
