Its a new generation of engine, akin to the difference between the L99/LS3 and the LT1. Lots and lots of differences. Some of the major ones are direct injection and a higher compression ratio.

The supercharger is also completely different, smaller size and spins faster.

They changed ...... everything.

Seriously both cars have very little in common with each other. Two different generation cars with completely different motors, transmission, rear end , suspension, and chassis. I "think" the brakes may be the same but that is about it.
