It doesn't really matter on how many litters, my 96 Mitsubishi 3000GT (N/A DOHC V6) is a 3 litter and puts down 222hp at the crank. It's all in the design of the engines. Ford really hasn't made a LOT of changes to their motors over the years, at least compared to the other companies that is.

I've read that 210 HP for the V6 is underratted any truth to that.
I know that I have heard and read on this forum a while back that actual output is closer to 220-225 net
210 is at the crank....at the wheels its between 180 and 190....cai tune and sual will bring it to around 225 at the crank and probably about 200-210 at the wheels...this is based ona 5 % to 10% loss from the crank to the wheels...
3.5 liter High-Output SOHC V6
A dual-tuned intake manifold utilizes a short runner valve, bringing you 250 horses at 6800 rpm and 250 lb-ft of torque at 3800 rpm. Partnered with a sophisticated electronic throttle control system that tailors the pedal-movement response based on operating conditions, plus platinum-tip spark plugs and the coil-on plug ignition system, you'll reap benefits like more consistent speed and reduced emissions. (standard on SE).
I have checked out one of the first SRT8s and everything is amazing except the interior. It's boring and looks exactly like the Charger. Hopefully by the time they release other models such as the R/T and v6 next year they will fix that.
what about the open diff on the SRT8??? i dont get why you'd but an expensive high power car with an open diff.. ive seen pics of the car burning out with only one wheel spinning. hell even the base mustang GT has a posi rear...

there supposed to be a general rule of 15% drivetrain loss (20% for autos) which would lead one to think that our cars are underrated. 15 % would give you more like 220-225.
