How does that compare to FG Barra?

Power: 195 kW (261 hp) @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 391 N⋅m (288 lb⋅ft) @ 3250 rpm

So basically Ford 3.7L Cyclone V6 is much more technologically advanced, but it sucks because it puts out less torque at 1000 RPM later than our home grown dinosaur
Torque performance of the cyclone would have been better if it were a 4.0 like the big bad Barra.
this was in 2008 which is when they should have introduced the diesel to the Falcon and territory for those after Torque and better economy. Instead it made its way 3 years later in only territory. some were calling it an old engine already.
