new V6 still not as smooth running

[harry3]

was recently driven around in a new statesman limo V6 and the engine is still far rougher and shakes more than the VL RB 30 6 cyl

this is despite a major effort by holden to smooth out the commodore V6 over the years

And your point?

Umm yeah thats nothing new. The buick v6 is crap because its just a 90 degree v8 with 2 cylinders chopped. Whichever way you look at it an inline 6 is almost always going to be smoother than a v6. It's inherent in the way of internal balancing
