A V-4 is essentially what you get in the L99 when the AFM kicks in, and I think we all know how popular that is around here . . .
Inline 4 only.

While I agree GM will most definitely use only inline 4's, an H4 would not sound bad at all.
Instead of saying old 36 to 40 hp engine from VW think 300 hp engine from Subaru.... that's more of a comparison for this day and age. And that's a sexy sound, I don't care who you are!
