You think this isn't a fanboy review? He's basically saying, "Yeah it's just as fast as they say it is, but it isn't as fast as the v8 so it's crap." What an idiot.
Just to clarify, I am not calling you an idiot I am calling the author an idiot.

it's the same for our V6 engines...

I'm just adding to your statement here - OHC is just more efficient. If you have the same displacement in an OHC engine you will make more power and torque than the OHV. You will always make more HP than TQ above 5252 RPM, that's just math. HP = (TQxRPM)/5252 The higher you rev, the larger that gap becomes.
As for comparing a Ford Edge and Explorer to the Mustang and making assumptions about them before you've even been in one... Come on. Literally the only thing shared with the Edge is the BASIC design of the 3.7. It is a very different engine, uses a different transmission with different gearing, is a far lighter car and I mean seriously, you're comparing an Edge to a Mustang, this is insane.
