Or if you could, find the GTV with the 2.0 V6 turbo engine in it Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies

It's asking to be stroked out to a 3.0 at least I am pretty sure it would be easy to re-sleeve the 2 litre V6 up to at least 2.5 and possibly up to 3.3L (2.0 and 2.5 have shorter stroke than the 3 litre) Or a later 3.0 24v with a supercharger would be great too.
