The arrangement of the cylinders doesn't matter, the whole basis of the thread is about power and delivery (especially since the OP doesn't have the slightest clue about what he's talking about).

Sorry, about that. But the point remains the same. Lets use the Acura NSX for example then. It has a V6 N/A motor and it pushes well above 120mph!

As a matter of fact, even my WRX wagon does over 120mph and its a 4 cylinder.

And the power and delivery of inline 6 cylinders and v6s is very different. V6s are crap compared to the inline 6, that's why all the civilized car brands still use them. 😉

While I do agree with you that the I6 is better than the V6, the author of this thread was generalizing. The idea of saying a V6 isn't capable of propelling a car to over 120mph is just plain stupid.

1976 Datsun 280z i6: I broke 140 several times. Scary though because the front end would lift, without an air dam it acts like a wing. :Q

I was just reading an article last week in a mustang magazine about the boltons for the v6 engine. They got up to 180 hp at the wheels with just bolt ons!

The power is very different?!?!?!? Then why does BMW still use i6's that only output 180hp :thumbsdown: They vary just as much as V6's do.

 

Reading this thread has indicated to me that no one listens to me in YACT, how depressing.

There hasn't been a v6 engineered yet that's capable of matching up with BMWs i6.

i've done 120 Easy on my I6 😛

My limiter is set at 143.x mph and it has been done by several people on is300.net.

 

[ndee]

Our 4-banger 2.0 Toyota Carina does about 110mph(according the tachometer) so I'm sure a V6 can go faster than 120+mph.

180 is their lowest output I6, they range from 180 to 333HP 🙂 A base model 3 series doesn't need much more than that for someone who's just commuting. And you miss the point of what he said, he said the power delivery is different, not the peak power 😛

There are more factors than just the engine. Drag co-efficient, torque and gearing also make a huge difference in the top speed of your friends Mustang. I had a '94 Mustang with 3.73 rear gears and I had it up to 140 on the speedo once. I think the car was probably doing 130 really though due to speedo error. It had more in it though but not much. Air was howling around that thing at that speed, sounded like an airplace. Mustangs aren't the most slippery when it comes to moving through the air.

You would be WRONG!

Christ my 1998 4cyl. Nissan Altima has hit 120mph and it didnt take long to get there......

LOL, the ignorant chose to ignore the truth.

My puny 4cyl is limited at 125mph... it has no trouble bouncing of the speed limiter... it's gear limited to 175.

About 30 seconds? 😀

 

[Nebor]

Just thought I'd say the v6 in my Acura has pretty good pull on the highway. The engine revs way up and sounds like a race car. I've been 120mph before. I think it's govered at 129mph. From the "feel" of the car I'd guess it could probably do 150 or 160 without a governor.

And the Lexus IS300 has an i6 as well. The i6 is a superior engine to the v6. It provides more torque, is easier to put in rear drive car, and seems to be very long lasting.

 

[TuffGuy]

The BMW 2.5 I6 takes up more space than the 5.7L LS1 V8.


Superior huh? The I6 wouldn't fit in any V6 engine bay. The V6 on the other hand will fit in any I6 engine bay.

Because v6s are generally transversally mounted.... FWD.

You can use V6s in both FWD, RWD and AWD applications. You can't say the same for I6s.
