Its the torque that counts
"3.8L V6 produces 240hp in front-wheel drive applications and Cadillacs routinely put out up to 300hp."
This is true but how much axle-twisting TQ do they produce? I think that is the concern here. The HP these modern engines produce is fine.
My gn produced 282.65 HP & 390.93 ft-lbs of Torque on a dyno this summer and that is with the only modifications being a stock size K&N in the stock housing and not cat.
I doubt if the FWD cars you mention are pumping 400 ft-pounds of TQ though their trannys and drive shafts.
