250kg makes a huge difference when you are talking about V6 engines that make 125/147kw and the lowest base weight is 1300kg. This discussion is about V6 engines in Commodores so nothing else is really relevant. The other thing is people talk about power but forget about the torque where the difference is even less between the 2 engines been 292Nm and 304Nm respectively.
We aren't racing Corollas here with engine transplants
I don't find torque relevant as such moreso the torque to horse power ratio as torque can be changed via gears while power is absolute.
How the engine acts is not how much peak torque it has but rather the ratio between the output power average vs the torque peak gives you an idea of how the engine will react.
