said by Gone:
The 3800 is an old - albeit a well-loved - design. It is simply not nearly as efficient as the new V6 designs that are out there now.
i realize that, but this car is a 2008 model, not a 1996 model.

The 3L Vulcan V6 I had in my Topaz was only good for 180HP if I remember correctly. Same pushrod design and all.
155hp...the 3.0L 24V V6 my 2000 Taurus had was rated at 200hp and 200 torques...that is the same hp as this 2008 model 3.8L...that's pretty sad.
