[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15941917, member: 121775"] I thought it was to have a "numbers matching" engine coming off the assembly line, too, but what difference would it make, as long as the VIN stamped on the block (and heads) matches the body? What's the need for the stickers? The only thing I've read that's even remotely close to the engines being different was someone said the R supposedly makes more power, but Ford didn't want to certify the engine twice, so they don't advertise it as being any different. :shrug: I'm not buying the more power argument, considering both cars have identical trap speeds in the quarter. Edmunds dyno'd both cars, and found that the R was making slightly more power to the wheels, but basically wrote it off as either being "within the noise" of the dyno or owing to the carbon fiber wheels.
