All parts are the same except for the turn lights. Euro models should be clear while the US models are yellow. From what I understand some Euro models came stock with 13g turbos while the rest of us are stuck with lowly 9b's stock. Any other difference will be between the years and are the same no matter the designation, Euro, or US. 91- 93's come with a five speed and are rated at 300 hp while 94 - 99 come with a 6 speed and are rated at 320 hp. The difference in the 91 - 93's can be made up with the free boost mod, http://www.stealth316.com/2-freeboost.htm

91 - half the year of 92 came with a weaker 18 spline transfer case while the other half of 92 and 93+ came with a stronger 25 spline tc. Around the same time they changed from a 2 bolt main to a 4 bolt main in the years. 91 - 92 come with cast internals and 93 plus come with forged internals and cast pistons. There is more but go to www.stealth316.com and look at the specifications for each year and model.

From the picture of the front of the car it looks like they might be different from ours. Do you have a picture with the headlights up?

Hi there 8)

Yes the plastic surrounding is different between EURO and US cars. You can see it from the shape of the light, while US cars have their snake-eyes mod and the shape line goes smoothly from the wheel side to the bottom of the hood, on EURO cars with the light washer thing we don't have a smooth line there and we have some kind of a step if you knov what mean.

See the attached pic, where you can see the difference
