ha yeah but the famed Inline sixes in production now don't have an NA-spec pushing 100bhp+ per liter. It's not just power but packaging too. A V6 is shorter than an inline 6 so keeping more of the weigh between the axle.No point for a V6 either as they have already got a better alternative in their famed straight 6s.
i agree on the more power to move more weight "problem" that car face today.
The first M3 E30 had 200+bhp, E36 had 300+ and now we are facing a 400 + bhp
Too bad making power is cheap compared to making cars lighter.
