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!


How so brain sturgeon?

I'm not a brain surgeon.

Thats obvious.


The real measurement would be to change the stroke AND bore to keep the
same displacement.

Exactly what I said- "Everything else being equal (# cylinders,
displacement)- yes"

Lets REALLY dumb this down for you.


Engine #1- 250 ci straight 6 in a under square configuration (Stroke is
longer than the bore- long stroke)

Engine #2- 250 ci straight 6 engine in a over square configuration (Stroke
is smaller than the bore- short stroke)

Engine #1 will have more torque than engine #2 at a lower rpm.
Engine #2 will rev higher and achieve its max torque at a higher rpm than
Engine #1
Engine #2 will also redline @ a higher rpm than Engine #1

capiche?
