The v8 is from an American truck (F150) It probably had more in common with the 2jz in the worst way possible.... oh and why do race cars not have abs or traction control, because people that actually race them know about pedal control...
The F150 in America had either SOHC 5.4 2V or 5.4 3V depending on what generation. The Lincoln Navigator and Lincoln short lived Blackwood was equipped with the DOHC 5.4 4V.
I think this is a common misconception pushed by people that have not driven one, mine is far from slow & definitely pushes hard enough to leave the majority in its dust
