did you guys not get the 3.2 evo version???
In europe the 93 - 95 model was a single vanos 3 ltr with 286 bhp while the 96 - 99 model was called the evolution with a 3.2 ltr lump pumping out 321 bhp. ANother difference is that the evo had 6 speed boxes (some also had smg) while the 3ltr ones had a 5 speed box

of course we didn't get any of the stuff the rest of the world got. USDM always gets fvct over.... we do have $2000 cam kits that get us near the power level of the euro motor, but still no individual throttle bodies & countless other stuff that USDM always gets screwed over on......

Seems like somewhere I read that the Euros had a stepless/continously variable VANOS whereas the US modles have a steping VANOS that either advances 12.5 degrees or doesn't. Bently says a max of 12.5 which makes it sound like it doesn't have to advance the full 12.5. :hmm:
