While it may not fit your line of thought Ray,my early 240Z was the best inline 6 I've ever owned.
It was smooth,tons of torque,, and after I dropped in a close ratio 5 speed and a LS 4:11
rear it had huge top end.Later own it became more race car then street with carb,header and chassis changes.I was middle of the pack competitive and I never changed the cam, compression or CI. I never trailered it to a track either.
Oh it does! Yes, a lovely thing, somewhere in the
right size range for sixes. Revvy, smooth, make a great sound.
But my favourite is smaller than that, I must admit... and by a large margin.
By the way, anyone have any experience with the 1600cc version of the TR5/TR6 Triumph six? It came in the Vitesse sedan and coupe and the GT6 version of the Spitfire, as I recall.
But it was based on very old and awkward foundations... the Standard 8 and Standard 10 4-cylinder engine which ultimate got stretched out to about 1400cc for the last of the Spitfires.
