Be prepared to get flamed. It doesn't seem like you have done any homework. Even a glance at Cars.com, Edmunds.com, Wiki, etc would give you the various engine packages between the cars.

I'll provide this tidbit though. There are 4-port and 4 port engines, and what the redline is for a given engine is a massive contributor to the peak HP, but not peak torque. If you drop the redline, you will lose peak HP, but not peak Torque (unless peak torque was in the band of RPM that you dropped).

Seriously, it doesn't take much to find out this information.

What you want to do with the information is highly subjective of course. Perhaps if you came back with THAT question....

Torque would be a little different.
but at that point... it wont even matter...

It'd be harder to set up the lobes on the 16x cause it's an odd number of rotors.
