Many reasons why that is the case.
But. Even if it was quoted at the "same" 307kW in supercharged form, what would you think the power delivery would be like coming from a positive displacement blower?
How does a single spinning 270kW G6ET go as quick down the quarter as the new Mustang GT, which has 307kW (and roundabout the "same" torque as the turbo Ford), a lighter body, fatter tyres and LSD?
