I also wouldn't say that 332 hp is the "peak" for a V6, either...there are plenty of new technologies to be found and/or utilized. Lets not even go into the fact that Porsche's GT3 makes 435 HP with a measly 3.8L...a single tenth more than us, yet over 100 HP more...

Just food for thought
And how much does a GT3 cost? my point exactly. Just for a comparo, my 07' Eclipse GT is a 3.8L and makes 263 at the crank. Point I'm trying to make is, 332bhp is damn good, especially for a 3.7 NA engine.
