ummm..... No 130hp is not 130hp if you’re comparing two different vehicles. Every manufacture rates the factory power levels differently. not to mention other variables like transmission efficiency, weight,.....etc

Tq makes a huge diff too
for example 130 hp/70 lbs tq isnt gonna compare to 130hp/140 tq

No. Hp/lbs ratio, how efficiently that power is getting to the wheel. There is a crapload of difference.
