difference between PS and HP?

is PS and HP the same? HP as in horsepower.. because on honda of japan website... the same 1.7 sohc vtec is rated at 130 PS instead of 127 HP... I've seen other cars with PS rating too but they didn't scale it down or anything when I see the counter part US websites... hmm. I know its only 3 hp, but I'd rather say 130 hp than 127 hp. tehehe.

hmm. duno.

well I looked it up cuz I figured being lazy is stupid.. still dont know what PS stands for, but its Metric HP basically? 130 PS equals to about 128.22 HP... according to this converter here anyway... quite handy though. as for the 127 rating... doesn't really matter I guess.. I suppose putting a lower HP rating is more safe than putting a higher one that might not be true... Course, flywheel HP is whatever anyway. heh.

here's the converto\er if anyone needs it:

and lose my beloved factory low-end torque? no way!

once I had these 4 girls in my car, they weren't fat or anything, but 4 more people.. I felt some difference.. I remember driving with 4 other people before, and it didn't take that high of a rev up to get going... *shrug*
