Dan - the vast majority of FTOs are Jap imports so theres no difference in power apart from what fuel they're likely to run on (and they have 99RON avail in the UK).

Theres only a handfull of offically imported Ralliart FTO's in comparision to imports and theres no difference in BHP - there was no homogolation changes made for the UK market as it was never brought in as a mass market car.

Mine has 400 bhp cause I have 2 exhausts - and they're large so I get better traction.

Yes Muad but they also increase the weight (plus the weight of all the animals that must live in them) so thats a drawback.
