I read somewhere else that this is true. Same Spec motors making
different HP. From what I understand there are laws (at least in
Germany) that you must be within a certain amout +- on HP claims. Thats
why Porsche claims lower HP numbers on their cars. Also it might help
out on insurance rates.

Its kind of like when we were kids my 3 friends all had identical barnd
new mopeds and one of them was really slow (even for a moped) Ok I'm off
the subject now. Interesting though to think how much HP your barnd new
car actually has compared to what it's supposed to have,
