Nay. The LS is too good to be sideways.

LS4 is the FWD variant that went in W-bodies...

I know, and it’s terrible.

If I had a trofeo I and a blank check I’d go with a turbocharged Quad 4. Maximize that last effort of Oldsmobile.

Yay! I love that car. It doesn’t need a V8 in it to be great, but what the heck.
