Default stock 2.8 12v vs stock 1.8T

I have a question. How much HP does a stock 2.8L 12v motor put out and how much HP does a STOCK 1.8T put out??? I heard that the stock V6 was stronger than the stock 1.8T and I need the professionals out there to verify this. Thanks

The 2.8 has higher peak output, but the 1.8T is actually faster

Both US models have the same speed limiter setting but 1.8T is lower geared so it accelerates more quickly.

Coming from a guy who has owned both, I think my 2.8 12v auto was faster than my stock 1.8t manual
