G55K Any difference between USA/Euro engine?

Does anyone know if there is any significant difference between the USA-spec and Euro-spec engine/bhp/exhaust-muffler sound? I am thinking of buying an 05-07 G55 Kompressor. They seem to be much more plentiful and a lot cheaper in the States.

Help me out pls. I've seen cars advertised with 469,476,496 bhp. All more than enough. But does the USA version sound like a Spitfire?

No, they are all the same...


The reason why you see the different powerrating around different places is because of the different fuels availible... You guys and your jungle juice over there yield more power. Us with out watered down fuel yields less power....



And as for the G55ks. Anything after 2003 is supercharged. In 2006-2007 they did a facelift. In either 2007-2008 they did an interior lift.
