Can you believe some people think a V6 is the worst sounding engine?

Some people haven't heard an Acura 3.2 CL Type S before.
Now, I think 4 bangers are the worst sounding engine. Doesn't include 3 cylinders in that list.

65 degree crank (Stratos/Dino) =/= 90 degree crank (most V6s)
The angle and timing order of the crank (wasn't the Stratos V6 technically "flat plane" like the Dino V8s it was based off of?) drastically changes the sound, more so than the number of cylinders. That's the difference between a Mustang V8 and a 458 Italia V8.
Plus, most V6s do not have individual exhaust runners or a short length exhaust like the mid-engined Stratos.

For a second I thought the number plate on the first Stratos read "NO PRNDL" and I was about to be happy, then my mind really read what it said. . .

I am not sure, I always thought the crank was a 120 degrees between each crankpin. I don't think it was a flatplane crank, that would not be ideal for this sort of engine. I know they used two of these engines to make some of their V12s in the early 90s.
And although the 90 degree V6 are usually V8s without 2 cylinders(gross simplification here) they also sound amazing!!
