Engine bay room

Post by NovaResource »

Was anyone else surprised at how much room there is in the engine bay? Upon opening the hood for the first time my first thought was, "There is so much room in there. You could easily fit a V6." Anyone else think a V6 might become an option in the future?

I'm lucky though....my wife also likes manuals. (We're currently driving a 97 Z-24 5-speed, & a 2001 Dodge Stratus R/T 5-speed) Shadow Vibe 5-speed on order to replace the Z-24. Everyone checked out the new Cadillac CTS w/ MANUAL trans? Front engine, rear drive too!!! It's supposed to get the LS-6 next year.Later,Carl
