Well, I think it costs a lot of money to certify safety equipment for the U.S., which is why Porsche doesn't offer the same seats as they do on the GT3 in the U.S. market as well. I believe side airbags are now required in all passenger cars.
The Boxster Spyder engine is retuned, just as you say. It's not a different displacement.
The BBK should have been included, though.
