Nate:
"You're probably aware of this already, but you won't be able to get your V6 to sound like a V8. Even if it's throaty, people will think it must have lost two cylinders."
I understand this, for the most part, but I'd bet $100 that a properly designed V6 could be made to have a throaty sound if a Two Cylinder V Twin Harley Can.
I bet it's the Size and Shape of the Piston, Cylinder and Cylinder head. I heard that Harley Patented the Harley, "Sound" several years ago when Jap bikes started going after the Harley Market Share.
==================
On another thought as far as Road Racing Engines go, there have been plenty six cylinder Turbo Road Racing Engines built and used successfully to win in Road Racing Application.
Didn't the "Can Am", some of the Lola's and the old, "GTU",(Grand Touring Under 2.5 Liters) racing class used turbo's. (I used to think the Pontiac GTO had something to do with the, "GTO", Grand Touring Over 2.5 liters) It may have been in name only. Who knows?
Let's not forget F1, last time I followed it you could either run a 3.0 N/A Engine or a 1.5 Turbo. Each one could put out 8-900 HP.
Anyway, thanks for the dialogue,
Ty
