If they made that Coupe 60 concept in real life without altering it much, that would make it my next vehicle!!!! I would love that car! 6 speed manual transmission or 6 speed auto, 5.3 Aluminum block w/ VVT and D.O.D., and a curb weight of less than 3,500! I mean it, no more than 3,500! That will help with fuel economy and performance figures. Make it so that no one can say, "Well, it only has a lame 5.3", make that "little" 5.3 all it needs. At least until you get the mod bug, then call upon your favorite supercharger manufacturer for a pill! TVS 1900 anyone?

And for anyone that doesn't need the out and out power, toss the same 3.6L HFV6 that the G8 sedan has (fuel injected of course- none of the tuners can do a damn thing with the D.I. motor, the Bosch ECM seems to be a tough cookie to crack) in it and you'll probably be looking at over 32 mpg on the highway. That base model would sell like hotcakes!!!

BlownChevy, any plans for a TVS R1320 Magnacharged style to go on the fuel injected 3.6 V6 engines? In the G8, CTS, and other applications? I think that would be a good seller for you!
