Horsepower ratings

the loss in power is very minimal...for cars like the old generation m3 where the u.s. version had 240 hp while the euro and canada verion had 330 hp thats noticable.

Damn 90hp difference.

It was actually 286hp in the E36 M3 but point taken, emissions can really lower hp

hmmm...might be that much. there was a computer modifcation that you could program into the M3 that would let you do what they call "euro-launches" and the like same with getting more power out of the engine. but yea califronia emssions suck, and i still think it was partially californias fault that the 96-97 supra turbo all came with a mandatory automatic from the factory, well that and i think that the epa is stricter to imports, but that's another story....
