Is it actually exact;y the kw that is said anyway? I know on motor bikes it is never the exact cc's. Like a cbr 250 for example would be like 245cc's. Is it the same for cars?

Im just going off of holdens figures of the Kw at the flywheel.
But 147 would be the rounded off figures give or take some watts. its not like they give a rounded figure so i would say there pretty accurate to the Kw

even with engine size, the 5.7L GEN III (which is 5700 cubic centremetres) is actually 5.665L, or 5665 cubic centremetres, they just round it off. well it would sound weird to say "i've got a 5.665L V8"

Yeh the ecotec is actually 3791cc... but 3.8 sounds better :p

KW figures are going to be pretty accurate when it comes out of the factory, but will change over time with the condition of the vehicle, no stock VS is going to be pushing 147Kw at the flywheel nowadays...
