Great article and interview about why an inline 6 is superior to V8

TheDrive has a great article about why inline 6's are better than V8's for most jobs. Thought people here might be interested in it.

Listen to a Former CAT Engineer Explain Why Inline-Sixes Are Better Than V8s for Hard Work

Jim Coles worked as a Caterpillar engineer and sold Peterbilts for 40 years, so it's safe to say he knows a thing or two about diesels.

Yes, definitely! Because GM/Chevy didn't like the fact that a V6 was faster than their Corvette! Lots of internal anger at that. I remember hearing lots of stories. I still miss my baby blue 87 T-Type!
