Forgot about that engine, Calvin- the rest of the car
was so crappy (esp. the shifter) that I kind of forgot
about the SHO.

Ever driven a Yamaha Taurus SHO 3.0 liter engine?  It's kind of funny
that here we are 13 years later and Audi FINALLY caught up to the 220 HP
of normally aspirated power this thing put out, and it's redline was 7k.
All that in 1989.  Kind of like the "new" seat warmers that the GM SUVs
have in them :) --Calvin

Sorry Paul-
IMHO, the VQ series Nissan/Infiniti V6s are one of the nicest V6 engines
I've experienced personally.

As for best 6 cylinder engines....

I'll take the 3.8L I-6 found in the E34 M5.

As well as the 1.5L turbo V-6 found in the McLaren MP4/4, as driven by
the late Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, among others.

Now I'm being a PITA.

I'm just being a pain in the ass!! I love the VR6 GTI's. City monsters
they are!!! I can't wait for the R32! We all love the 5 cyl 20v, but the
VR6 is one of the sweetest engines I have ever experianced. By far the
best 6 cyl!!
