1 Litre oil top up every 2 months sound right?

"And it isn't as though the Yankie engines just have the lean burn mode 'turned off' - they actually have competely different software, with the lean burn aspects completely removed. "

Wonder if this is anything to do with their wild higher remapp dyno claims against the euro cars?

I dunno, but the yanks to like 'big numbers' in all their walks of life.  When footy went over there, they moaned that you only got 'three points' for a win!  Just look at their nascar racing - win one of their races, and you get about 3½ million points - for one race! 

But seriously, they use 'horsepower', whilst in Europe, we use stricter definitions of power, including brake-horsepower and kilowatts

Yeah they go by wheel horsepower over there. The average stage 2+ ko3 car here europe makes 250whp(280bhp) and in the USA it's 270-280whp(300bhp-310bhp). If you question it at all on their forums you more or less get told eff off and accused of not knowing what you're talking about
