Inline vs V

[Dakkon]

This may have been asked before, so appologies if so, however:

Just curious, assuming the same capacity and No. of cylinders will there be any difference in bhp and or torque between and inline engine and a 'V' engine?

Thanks,

The only reason im asking is that I currently own an E30 325, I was driving a 2.5 V6 Probe yesterday and the Probe was absolutely gutless and rubbish, yet on paper they are the same capacity and similar bhp, I was just a little supprised, which in turn got me thinking about the actual engine configuration itself.

I think you may well be right about the weght of the cars, yet I was still suprised as to how gutless the Probe was.

Thanks for all the info.
