Let me ask you this... 
If the motor was the same, but the ashtrays and lights were all that was different,
do you think we'd have the term "Euro-spec M3"?  
If all was the same except for the motor which was different, do you think we'd have
the term "Euro-spec M3"?

Assuming your answers were "No" and "Yes",
I rest my case.  ;^)

But autocross is lots of fun.  And for the price of re-fitting a Euro-spec motor
into my car, I could almost just buy a 993 for the track.  (Well, maybe not a 993;
but perhaps a used Formula racer.)  What _would_ it cost for said Euro-spec engine
and the labor to put it in?  (The SMG was free, right? ;^)
