You can't bet the sound of a V6, though as meantioned before its most likey a lot more work, pushed for space with a 2.0, so a V6 is going to be very tight.

a v6 is heavy on the front, cornering will difficult.
and the 20xe is less weigth and easier to tune too.

Don't think the V6 engine weighs that much more than a 2.0, a V6 is a small block engine....

If you get a V6 you will need to modify the inlet manifold and make custom engine mounts, oh and somehow get an F20 to fit it, or try fitting it with the F25 which is massive and will need custom mounts too... It's not just a case of getting a mate to shoe horn it in for ya...

the 'mate' he works for has done a few corsa b v6's now, and did the corsa c v6 as well (only 1 ever). from what i can remember he uses an f20/f18 hybrid g/box, not 100% sure though
