I went through a spell of wanting 6 cyls when I was kid (everything was v8- "rice" out of the question). this was the 80s if you didn't guess.
I remember when the lopsided GM 4.3 came out...I do not work with "out of balance" engines, never wanted one. I remember the impalas with it, and even the mustangs. the ford ranger trucks with a 2.9, and the giant 3.8 transverse in grandmas wagon....they all sucked miserably.

I wanted absolutely none of them and still don't. Never bought a car with one, and never will..

The v6 is not correct. The idea is always grand, but never correct. Leave it to an american jackass to put in a mustang and claim big power...

I may get that 3.3 flat six SVX engine in the 2700 pound sube some day....just to reveal my true thoughts on 6 cylinders and success. the flat is the only attempt at normal, if to know any math at all for four stroke and crank.

lucky for america it is a mustang with choices.. go small v8 before that 6...it is good advice.. anybody can follow it.

Don't mind me and my bluntness.
