Personally, that's why I think Ford is, or rather was, on the verge of bankruptcy.
No, I'm not saying that at all. If you use that logic then Nissan is too lazy to fine-tune the VQ37HR because we can boost it and run 500hp or so reliably. You're saying that if you haven't tuned the engine in such a way that it's making the absolute maximum amount of power before it breaks then the factory is lazy.

Ford just puts a very, very solid engine in it's V8 Mustangs. They are tuned to make solid power and appeal to the masses while maintaining the strength to take on a lot more.
