You have a great point there...and the V6ers save a few lbs off the front of an already relatively light machine (~3650ish for the GT, ~3550ish for the V6)...so the balance is even better. Add in some sticky rubber, heavy duty shocks, springs/sways and you have a downright respectable sports car that still runs 13s stock. I read that you really get the optional 3.15 axle ratio and the 6spd to have fun though.
