Most responsive RWD 6 cylinder car

[flatline84]

I see people claim Beemer 6`es are the best of the bunch, but doesnt these suffer from the throttle delays? what other engines are as smooth but without the delay?

[flatline84]

Which of BMW 6`es have the least delay then? I heard the N52 is significantly more responsive compared to the 3.0. Any truth in that?
Honestly, a 1 second delay would ruin the entire driving experience for me.

I had an ODB1 in a MK3 Golf on a K plate, what a lovely engine that was.

Too bad the cars connected to the engine is sub-par. Needs to be RWD to be of any interest. Which sadly excludes most of the Alfas too..

So I guess its a question of the most responsive BMW 6? Anyone ?

[flatline84]

the Corrado VR6 is FWD right? if so thats a no as well..

[flatline84]

what about the S50 and S52 engines, in the E36 M3s? Do they also have throttle delay?

[flatline84]

because FWD cars are automatically disqualified

You didn't make yourself very clear. Your original question was about which 6 Cyl engines have little or no throttle delay, you never mention what they may or may not be bolted to!

Point taken, english is not my first language, sorry for insulting fellow pistonheads with my question

In that case so is you're opinion for being totally retarded, a bit like yourself, id imagine.

Retarded for not fancying FWD? Have I offended you in any way? Anyway sorry then..

[flatline84]

You are correct

[flatline84]

basically best response straight/V6 with a RWD configuration

But the drivetrain of a car has no effect on how good an engine is.

Best at what? Power? Noise? Reliability? etc, etc.

Can't include the Skline GTR's then if it's only RWD for example.

I know, I was just framing it for purposes of what I would actually consider buying.. Bit misleading im sorry..

Anyway, how about a normally aspirated VVTI Supra?

Im interested in this one. Were they common in manual version? good drive? I know it was a very LONG engine, other than that a bit of a dark horse, albeit perhaps a worthy left-field choice?
