RC 45, You have essentially said that what I proposed is being done by the Monaro/GTO already. Fair enough, to some extent it is. However my method has one advantage. Wheelbase. Yes the LS2/6/7 may be small for its capacity. Hoewever it would have been very easy for them to have gained the same power out of say a four litre engine. Surely you would agree that a four litre engine would be smaller in footprint. As it would be smaller they would not need to place so much emphasis on low weight. With a smaller wheelbase the car would have a sharper turn in. Although I guess American cars taditionally don't give a crap about turn in.
And Graywolf similar argument. Regardless of how compact the engine is compared to its competition I am interested in how much smaller it could be. Most people prescribe to the theory of 'it is better than others' I disagree, I look at how good it could be. On this basis I feel that Chev/GM have gone the wrong direction. Of course they would have had reasons, no doubt they wanted to leave plenty of space for the aftermarket tuners to stick their goodies.
On the note of GTO's drifting then you obviously have not seen anything of the Australian drift scene, we've got utes out there for some insane reason. Or the Evo article where they took the Monaro VXR to a drift event.
