Default V6 4.0 vs V6 3.0???

Does anybody know the reason that Ford put the 4.0 in the Mustang with only 210 hp when they put a 3.0 V6 in the Fusion with 227 HP? I have both and the Fusion is a pretty good running machine. Seems odd to me? Any input?

Fusion 3.0 TQ = 205 @ 4800

Stang 4.0 TQ = 240 @ 3500

Which car you think is faster? They say HP numbers are for dyno shoot-outs ... TQ numbers are for racing.

I never put them to the test I would hope the Stang is faster but I honestly have not run them against each other. I don't think the wife would race me!
