Will never have that ICE V8 sound obviously. Maybe this just makes me old or old fashioned or whatever, but I'll always crave the feel, and the sound of a rwd V8 engine. And no not piped in sound.
I would bet if you made a "box" that this IL6 engine fit into you could probably fit nearly ever type of future powerplant into the same box. That has been the design concepts for the last several decades for building vehicles around a (smaller) "box" powerplant.
