I should use exact kW from data for 240/270/208. From parse:
- 240 hp: I didn't print kW. Let me recall I need exact. I didn't extract kW for last few gen2. From user truncated data... I have 230 = 169 kW. For 240, 270, 208 I need kW.
From first message truncated 3.0 AT 240... I should get kW for remaining.# Mitsubishi Diamante (1990–2005): specs, engines, mpg, dimensions
