So there are a ton of differences, here are just a few:
Font and boldness
Spacing between fonts and spacing on left edge
Trim around flags
Flag design is different
Silver areas are more raised

Other specifics about the fonts and spacing:
On the top example, the words "cubic inches" are longer than the word "horsepower". On the bottom example, horsepower is longer than cubic inches.
On the top the zero in "460" is over the first zero in "11.00:1". On the bottom the zero in 460 is over the second zero in 11.00:1.
just like with repro paperwork, they can get it close, but not perfect.

Lettering isn't bold like the original, different font and even the numbers are a different font
take the 427
the 4: edges are sharp on one, flattened on the other where lines meet
the 2: the first one is curved on the lower body from midpoint, the second is more a straight line from midpoint to bottom left edge
the 7: no curve from the right top to the bottom left
im not bothering with the rest, its just all wrong, now the letters are close, you have to pretty much have them side-by-side to notice, the lettering tho, you can tell that a mile away
