But I'll bet you've heard the term "odd-fire", right?
It's the same thing. Flat plane just sounds so much better than odd-fire. That and those that know odd-fires hate 'em because they are so unbalanced they'll shake your teeth out.
Odd-fire V-6's were real popular in GM cars. The 3.8L Buick engines were odd-fire engines. Although IIRC, they also made a even fire 3.8L.
