Best 6 cylinder? What about 2JZ-gte...capable of holding~1000 hp on a stock block...

The 2jz is the best straight 6 engine, turbo or atmo, in any car that costs less than $200000 australian. It has, as Megotmea7 pointed out, stupendous potential, but even in standard form it has good power (320 bhp), excellent tractability due to it's sequential turbo set-up, reliability, strength, great noise. For the money it really is tough to beat. It's in gear response murders that of the RB26 DETT skyline engine, and it has a more tractable nature than an (atmospheric compression) BMW M3. Don't knock it until you have tried it
