2011 Mustang V6 quick review w/ dyno numbers.

the amount of power American cars get out of a larger displacement engine is dissapointing. only recently is it actually coming up to snuff.

Yep for comparison...

Camaro 6.2 liter for 422 hp - 68.3 hp per liter

2010 Ford 4.6 liter for 315 - 68.4 hp per liter

2011 Ford 5.0 liter for 412 hp - 82.4 hp per liter

370z 3.7 liter for 332 hp - 89.7 hp per liter

Ford has taken a huge step here.

Remember torque is what really makes the vehicle move!

Yea but its the upper-end HP still peaking when the torque curve drops off that can save you in a close race to the flag.

Indeed. It is also nice to have a big, flat curve that helps you pull out of corners and really makes the entire rpm range very useable.
