I haven't encountered many good V6 engines, I'm not really sure why
but
they seem to be much less robust than inline 6's, perhaps it's the
compact shape?

Depends on where in the power band. Inlines, because of the
relatively
short stroke, and big bores, have a lot of low end torque. Modern
V6's
on the other hand, because of the configuration, are longer stroke,
smaller bore. Top end torque. Nissan makes a bitchin' V6

Do you ever get sick of being wrong?

Show me. Or shut up.


Torque is relative to crank throw- longer stroke = more torque, not less
as
you've stated.

Now will you shut up? Hmm, so I take it that you think torque is relative
to ONLY stroke?? Are you REALLY saying that?



Everything else being equal (# cylinders, displacement)- yes.


Now that's just a plain stupid answer!
