I've heard rumors of a mid engine car, due to this engines size...what do you guys know about this?
A few years ago when I was talking with an engineer at GM that he said they were working on a bi-turbo DOHC engine to go toe to toe with AMG for the Cadillac's. He said he didn't know if it was based off the currant 3.6L V6 or a modified LS base though. I'm kinda wondering if the LT5 is the higher output version of that engine he was talking about.
