There is a silver turd in Charlotte, NC, that frequents most Ford V6 Challenges, that can outrun a good number of modded 4.6s and 5.0s, without forced induction.

Yeah the 3.8 is a huge motor without the power of a V8. Not to mention if your doing a motor swap 5.0L are getting to become more and more done so its easier to find out info for the swap.
