I think you would be better with a reptop or a let. IMO the v6 is a silly idea, up to you though it is your car!

Might as well go for the 3.0! What 2.5 would it be? The 3.0 has 200bhp, the 2.5 won't make that power with the cams Exhaust and induction kit.

there's supprising alot of room at the side's of v6's, due to being only 3 piston's wide, just not front and back
also, a v6, with f20, doesn't weight that[i/] much more than a let, with f28, turbo, cooler etc etc
