...just the way we rate horsepower:

"1 SAE-PS = 1,014 DIN-PS = 0,7457*kW"

And yes, our LS3 does not have the "skip shift".

Only models similar to the US 2SS/RS are available officially in the EU. To get a V6, 1LE, ZL1 you need to get an export from thr US.

We have different side mirrors, different style rear bumpers and LED tail lights, no roof antenna, a HID light washing system, towing hooks, no SS logos, Hurst Short shifter is standard, lockable gas tank, metric dials, standard wheels are bright silver and not midnight silver,... and it is limited to 1000 coupes and 1000 convertibles per year for whole Europe.

Prices vary between 40,000€ to over 100,000€ for the 2SS/RS in different Europpean countries mostly because of different taxes.

Cheers from Germany

But I expect the 2014 EU model being much more similar to the US model.
