5.7L V12.   

or 3.2 I6 in mine.  (best engine i've ever had so far.) or 4.5L V10 in LFA sounds pretty good as well.

oh...  if it's from the list,...  uh.....  I4 with turbo?

A chipped ecoboost 4 will pull better than a V6 throughout the RPM range. I drove a Fusion V6 when the GTI was in the bodyshop, felt slow as :censor: until you hit 5k.

I recently test drove a 07' Fusion SEL with the 3.0L. It felt fine and torquey...but I drive a Honda so that doesn't say much. ;D

EcoBoost V6.

Or the regular V6 depending on the EcoBoost up charge.

Wouldn't take a boosted 4 in a vehicle that large and heavy, and certainly wouldn't if it costs more for it.

The old 3L.

I would've expected a 3L V6 to move a little better. :)

Smooth sure but no pull until you floored it. A turbo 4 would pull better at low RPMs.
