Series II 3800 vs. Ford 3.8
I don't know if this has been brought up in the past, but I was wondering about it.
How does a Ford 3.8 compare to a Series II 3800 NA?
I've heard the torque numbers are a lot higher for the Ford engine, but it'* hard to believe that it is quicker.

Well my mom'* T-bird 3.8 is not as fast as mine. I've driven hers and I HATE how it shifts and accelerates. It'* very sluggish off the line too. I don't even know the hp, but I know I wouldn't want to own one.

I don't know much about it either, but I THINK the hp on my mom'* 96 T-bird 3.8 is less or equal to mine, stock....someone correct me if I'm wrong. I've always wanted to know the #'* on her car.
