Granted the torque curves on V6 engines typically aren't as fun as the V8's but your average sedan buyer isn't going to test the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times regularly.
With that said, I can't believe they're making another Fast and the Furious. Can't they come up with another movie plot that combines hot babes and cars? Lets be honest, nobody watches the Fast and Furious for the script writing or the storyline...

They might be approaching those power levels, but they're down over 100 ft-lbs of torque. Modern NA V6's have a hard time matching the torque of V8's from 20 years ago.
