It doesn't matter how much you try to ignore it - it isn't gong to go away. I've never denied that a V6 is less well balanced than a straight 6, though I'll admit that's something I learned on this thread. From reading the other posts, it seems far less clear which is the best balanced out of a straight 4 and a V6 - and that's just from a moving-mass point of view. Add in the much larger combustion forces and it's no contest. Cheers, Colin.
