id rather have bodies on a c20xe than a let or v6, wouldnt be suprised if a lt of c20xe owners started to go that way.
But then if it was choice between v6 ant let I would go with the let

but seriously if your going to spend loads of £££ on your corsa, go for a 2.0 16v, easy to put in, easy to run and mantain in theory, enough power for evreyday etc etc

not many people can not comment on V6 Corsa as there isent many about and never will be.
it all depends on what you want from your engine, is which you go for

i was going on the basis that not many people can fit a V6 in a corsa, so mantaining it might be a problem, so owning it might be a problem

there just as bad as XE's and LET's
they can be abit hard work to work on, takes my 4 hours to remove the rear manifold (like 13 bolts)
i have driven alot of corsa with all the above engines and all feel the same in the corners.
like with any engine once its sorted and 100% then will last a while, only good thing about a V6 is the timing belt is so easy to do in the bay, alot more room than on a XE/LET

good thrash out in the summer on a twisty road xe! all out n out pace n showing some plonka up in his scooby let!! 
but i do admit i think from goin from a 1.4 to 2ltr to let it still goes round corners as fast unless you are driveing it on the absolute limmit but let is far quicker in a straight line and not really any slower in the corners if ya not too heavy footed

How about a V6 with a turbo and a throttle body for each inlet port? - Would that suffice?

Beardy I love your car, it's great, I want it.
Any car that little with a vee in it has got to sound good and be a laugh.
I await the first V8 conversion.
