Crossplane vs flatplane.
I'm asking to see if there are major advantages/disadvantages to using a flatplane or crossplane crankshaft in a sportscar engine. Mercedes Benz used a crossplane crank in the CLK LM and CLR's 6.0 and 5.8 liter V8s, and Audi and Bentley used flatplane cranks in their engines. Does this really matter from a performance standpoint nowadays?
