Yup you do have a point there. I think this is the same case when we compared power output ratings between the JDM of the Accord versus the one sold in Europe as well as the one sold Stateside (as an Acura TSX) and there are differences in performance.......even if they all come from the same factory in Tochigi, Japan.
Surprisingly, the engine also tends to have a higher rev limit though I'm thinking that @ same RPM, there shouldn't be much of a difference I think. Just probably the ECU mapping as well as the engine management controls have to slightly differ but I think everything else is the same.
Two cents
