Exact same car though.

So its just possible that the JDM spec car is rated at 232 and the american car is rated at 228.

But i wouldnt bet on it being a 86 having 232 vs BRZ with 228. The difference is likely a region thing. I dont think it changes any performance metrics though.
As far as the rumored 235HP goes somebody someplace misinterpreted the PS (Metric HP) rating as the HP rating and everybody has speculated about differences since then.

173KW = 231.9 HP
235 PS = 231.7HP
The announced most recent HP was 232.

They will all be the same no mater what brand, model or location.

People are just messed up by the error in interpretation and inventing scenarios to fit it.

I bet the 228 was premature.
