Default quick question about weight differance and power

say you have a s2, that pushes out 150 bhp.

what power would be needed to match the acceleration, if the engine was put in a mk4 cabby?

would it feel alot slower in the cabby with the same power?

same engine in a hevier car
but it's all down to the wieght distrbution too
the cabby might have better traction as it's a little hevier so can put he power down better

but you get my poitn
