cause its a crappy engine! actually by todays standard V6 its still a crappy engine. Its a SOHC that makes 210 hp. and its a 4.0, WTF? the 3.5 on the 350Z makes 285. the Maxima makes like 275, the oldder maxima made like 250. most V6 today are making approx 240 hp minimum. so why does ford not give a hoot and still produce undercompitenet V-6s??? cause they can, cause they spend all thier effort on maxxing out thier signiture V8, thats why!
