In defense of 6 cylinders

[frnkeore]

When I was 14 (1959), my best friend (17yrs) had a '50, with H6 in it. We street raced, as often as possible. All races with V8's were close but, we won more of them.

Who in there right mind, would race for "Pinks" (CA term) against a bored 262 (271 ci or more), even if they had a 296 V8 with 3x2's and a cam?

That said, a V8, with 3x2's, does look much better and I've never been a "sound" guy, just fast and loud!
