Default Euro vs. US Horsepower Discrepancy
What is the difference in spec that gives the Euro S4 a rating of 265 HP versus the US version's 250 HP? I have been led to believe that emissions standards are as tough in Germany, so that wouldn't explain the difference; maybe that's wrong, though. Is it software? Teutonic optimism?

Default There was some people a while back doing dyno runs who...
weren't sure there really was a discrepancy. The S4 may be underrated in the US for insurance reasons.

Also, octane levels in Europe are much higher.

Not true. Just a different rating scale.

Default The further west you go...
...the lower the horsepower. You're in Hawaii ? You got screwed. Try resetting the clock in the car to Eastern Standard Time or (if you're really daring) to GMT.

Works every time for me. Really.
