did you see how hard it was to touch the spark plugs from the top side of the engine. I am only considering one if it is a one hour tune up car, rather than the 2 + hrs plugs only job on my Lt1

Piece of cake. It looks like there will be more than ample room to work on the engine.

Werd! The engine is not packed under the cowl, it should be MUCH MUCH easier to work on.

this is good because then people will go spend money to buy aftermarket parts and keep businesses alive which will keep them from going bankrupt. Its all a master plan, that's why the govt gave them money.

I would think you wouldn't need to DO a tune up on this car. Is GM still using distributer caps???

He meant spark plug and wire changes by "tune-up".

The engine bay and undercarriage shots looks like someone took pics of a G8 GT. They look exactly the same.

Love the clearances underneath and FINALLY true duals! Hate the IRS, climate controls, weight, and price. It's WAY too heavy and WAY too expensive. I'm afraid Mustangs will still outsell it by at least 2:1.

Agreed.

This car came up to my work yesterday. When I popped the hood I was amazed by how much room there was to work in there.

Taking the engine cover off would be the first mod I'd want to do.

i wonder how much weight you'd save with replacing the stock exhaust with an aftermarket?
