A few weeks back, we asked you what the greatest pre-1990 four cylinder engines were and then shared the correct answers. Some of you dissented and claimed we were off, but it seems that most agreed with our choices. This week we move up the range to six cylinder powerplants. At this point I’m sure the Porsche-philes have already skipped ahead to stuff the ballot box, but in case you’re still reading: we’re aware of the flat-six. Yes, it’s a great engine. Perhaps, just for the sake of making this list more interesting, you could offer up more than your choice for the best variation of the 901? You’re already typing ‘Porsche 901…’ aren’t you? Oh well, just make sure whatever motor you pick, it’s pre-1990!
But please, when answering, let us know why you chose what you chose. And if you want to know which way we’re leaning, click here (after commenting of course).
What is the greatest pre-’90 six-cylinder engine ever?
