Yes.

That is a nice passenger car/luxury car engine. For performance it seems pretty pitiful to me. That's barely better than a 5.0 Mustang engine.

I don't understand why import guys can't give credit where credit is due. An aluminum 5.7L engine making probably 340hp at the fly that gets 30mpg without any fancy parts like overhead cams, turbos, or whatever. And it's affordable, and installed in thousands of cars.
