Sounds false but stated on these forums somewhere can anyone confirm or deny?

If anything, the 04's would be faster. 238bhp vs 232bhp. Either way if there actually is a difference, its not a big enough difference to even discuss.

So this thread fails.

Dude, where did you come up with 9%? And while youre pondering over that why did you make such a claim? Just for the record this thread made dillsrotary angry and disgruntled.

I'm 30% more better smarter than the other 15% of the not smart people. Now don't prove this. I have many back ups.

Let the discussion continue...

The US spec manual tranny HP is exactly the same... just depends on what SAE test you use. At 2007 standards the engine made 232, the same exact engine using 2004 SAE standards rates 238.

But the 2006 and later auto tranny versions make more HP than the 2004 and 2005 auto tranny versions.
