pointless and waste of time. You will be sitting in the bushes next to the roundabout everytime you turn. And you are not interested in doing the V6 conversion are you?

Is the V6 that much heavier than the 2litre?

The 2.5 V6 is only about 100kg heavier than the 2.0 16v engine I believe.

good fast engine though, nearly as quick as turbo, and more reliable.

put the engine in the rear would be better suited cos of the weight of the engine.
Plus how many RWD V6 Corsa's have you heard of?

Thats a very badly worded opinion.
End of the day dude, its your money, and if you want a car that will blow most 2.0 Corsas away on the motorway, do it
A decent suspension setup will mena it goes round bends ok. Will just overstear when driven hard.

oversteer?? Dont you mean understeer?? No matter what suspension you put on it, as soon as you point in a different direction its going to want to go straight on regardless.

Get a turbo everytime. More power, more torque, less weight, easier conversion, much more tunable. Cant really see any major pro's for the v6 except you can probably pick the engines up cheaper and it would be a bit different.

I cant see why you'd want a v6 over a let.
