Come on, the lowest output of any competitor is the Camry, at 225 hp. The Accord puts out 240, the Maxima, 265. 203hp is OK for the "economy" offering, but Ford needs to come out swinging with a more powerful option on the check sheet, especially for such a heavy car. What about the big Duratec out of the Freestar?



oh, you better not let the General hear say that! Imapala/Malibu=200hp. SC Impala=Accord non-SC hp.

ps on a slightly different note.
a friend of my friend works for a company that develops the police pursuit vehicles. He brought the next gen around to the local rice spot a few weeks ago. Its still a crown vic (cops love them) but they have stuffed the V10 in it. HP on the first one is just above 300hp but the torque was closer to 400 (going off bad memory here). he said they have recently completed the s/c version but i dont recall the #s. my friend who knows him very well said he saw it recently but i wasnt there when he brought it out
he said they will be selling them to police depts and also to the public as well. when i get better idea of the numbers ill post 'em and maybe a pic if he lets me take one of it.
