Not sure about the Z but I can tell you that when I bought my E46 M3 the euro version did not have cats and so boasted high hp/tq numbers. I wound up putting the euro headers on my car since there is no inspection in AL. Definitely was a noticeable increase, well also added an aFe CAI and a Shark tune.

I wonder if its less horsepower here in the US because of our emissions requirements but then again I thought europe was more strict on emissions than we are.

Could also be a different hp engineering standard in the UK.

650 HP equals to 659 PS (Metric HP) . So it’s the same

Europe's horses are smaller. They have to use more of them.

Can't say they same about our heavy weight boxers though!

And some EU countries still use BHP.
