Ooo la la the Francophones will love this one!  8)

Hmm. Put a decent engine in it and that could be quite a cool car.
The LS1 might fit given the size of that V6, but not sure the chassis could keep up ;D

A half decent 4 pot would be more lively than the asthmatic V6 it's got. ;D

Why not use the 24valve Renault V6?


Or a twin turbo 2.7 V6 and manual gearbox from an Audi A6. That's 350hp on the stock turbos

The only saving grace with the Audi is the front transaxle.

Given it's probably built like a biscuit tin, I'd imagine it still goes quite well even with a wheezy French V6.  :)
