i doubt he has enough space for a TT either so judging by the room he has between the valley of the motor its just screams maggie...

and on the power, i just have one thing to say: ignorance is bliss

Why are people assuming that the LS2 weighs the same or close to the VQ? The LS2 is more than 100lbs heavier than the RWD VQ engine. The car will be heavier with the LS engine, not lighter.
I still love the swap and think the LS looks cleaner in there than the VQ ever did.
