I had thought the S55 in the M2C and M3/M4 were the same?

Do you have more information about how the S55 in the M2C is maxed at 400 HP but can do more in the M3/M4?
You got it in reverse, I was referring to the N55 that's capped at 400hp, it was only confirmed in an interview, at the time of the M2C release.

The S55 in any vehicle are all the same and is capable of way more than 400hp, as oppose to the N55. Not sure of what exactly the soft max on that motor is but I would guess somewhere around 500hp or so..
