The C/R on the v6 is higher than the GT. Yeah 3v has gotta help I guess. Mossestang very funny I'm just wondering if apples to apples 2 cylinders is inherently better, ie. would a hypothetical 4.5 V6 be equal to a 4.5 v8? or does spreading out the displacement have an advantage?

because no one knows how to explain this but what to think they do[8D]
yes it does have an advantage, but the 4.6 is also more efficient the way everything works together, and yeah, damn bimmers have a sick new V8

I got to thinking.. I had a 4.3 V6 stock had more power than a 305 V8.. Thats chebbies.. if that has anything to do with this.. Its all in the motor.. If its a good motor or a sucky motor.. Did that make any sense or do anything to do with this??
