Sort of, but you can’t really compare peak power on either or power vs. displacement, because both vehicles are designed for very different purposes. The VW is for carting around you and your groceries and the GM is for dragging big heavy ass trailers, plowing and what now. So the GM can’t be tuned as agressively and all the drivetrain and frame pieces have to be significantly heavier duty. Just saying your comparsion is no more or less valid then mine.
