It ain't like a slant has never been done before either... Wanna go on a journey? Put a invisible helicopter engine in there; otherwise, its all the same: fuel, air, fire, bang!
No it ain't agreed, BUT how many do you see done vs. how many V8's do you see done?
To me a slant is an uncommon engine. Not rare. Not weird. Just uncommon. If I wanted rare I'd stuff a Jeep OHC six in it. If I wanted weird I'd go with a Fiat 8V or a Maserati Bi-Turbo.
