Very good units IMO. Slightly off beat exhaust note, and being a 'flat' engine they sit low in the car, helping to lower the centre of gravity and thus improve handling.
In terms of output, I guess they're pretty similar to in-line and V formations.
The 3.0 flat 6 in mine could use a little more low end torque - something they've improved a little in the 2007 car. However it is plenty punchy enough in the mid-range, which is where you want the poke in a refined car like this - its character doesn't really suit being thrashed to 7k+ revs (though it has a lovely muted 911 bark when you get up there!).
