As we know, Porsche was often conservative with the power estimates of their models, and it is certainly possible that this holds for the "Euro" (RoW) SC. That said, I'd expect that this measurement "delta" was consistent across the variants created for different markets within a given model year. Your "seat of the pants" evaluation might be right on the spot - for your vehicle. After all, power output can vary quite a bit from car to car, in that model year or production run. I would hesitate to extrapolate that evaluation to all cases, though, in the absence of quantifiable measurements that support that evaluation.

It's a subjective thing, sitting behind that wheel.
