One thing that really caught my attention was when Mike, the 6.2l engineer, described the 6.2l as making decent power. This is the quote I'm referring to:

"The new 6.2L is all new. It shares nothing with any of the other V8 or V6 engines in the Ford Powertrain line up. The bore centers are 115mm, compared with the Modular 100mm bore centers. This allows us to have a relatively large 102mm bore, and make decent power from a 2 valve per cylinder engine."

I'm a little surprised that he chose to use the word "decent" to describe the power out put of the new engine. Why would the effort be made to design and release an all new engine to only be described as making "decent power"?
