The idea of a V6 sounds intriguing to me on paper, but it would have to be one heck of a V6. One problem, if it weighs considerably more than the turbo 4, it throws the weight balance off, and negatively affects handling. Also, an OHC design 6 could have a center of gravity disadvantage which could negatively affect handling too. I wouldn't want to see that. If I wanted a nose heavy muscle car, I could easily buy a Mustang. Also, it would have to have a decent power advantage. Torque could be a big advantage, but not sure I would want a V6 with less power than the SIDI 4 either, and not too many V6's have more.

I guess what I am trying to say is... if it were the right engine, had a high amount of power, and didn't negatively hurt the handling, I would be all for it. Otherwise...
