Quite a lot of differences from the full 300hp version. For starters the following are different:
– Cams
– pistons
– EZL
– fuel distributor
– Distributor
– R16 resistor instead of switchable dial
– exhaust manifolds

All of that adds up to just under 40KW. Exhaust manifolds are apparently the biggest.

Is this just the R16 resistor or something else as well? Exhaust on my 560sec look pretty similar to euro version, and the EZL appears to be the same as on european cars (same part number). BTW. Very informative website – getting through most of your post about c126.
