Question about Kappa

I know that the Kappa can be lengthened i think up to 6 inches from the solstice's size. but im wondering can it be widened? They say they want to produce 200k kappas a year and i hope they do, but with what cars? if the solstice is 20-30 thousand a year and then the nomad, i dont think the nomad will sell 180k a year. Im wondering if it can be widened, ie to be able to fit a V6 or V8? ie base and Z28/SS model Camaro.

Would they be able to do that? or will Camaro definately be on Zeta. If the Kappa can be widened, would that enable the Camaro to come back earlier than if it was on the Zeta?

That's definately a PacerX question, or maybe even a R377 question.

My understanding is that anthing can be widened, but it becomes a question as to how much it's going to cost.

The Zeta is designed from the start as a modular structure while I'm pretty certain Kappa wasn't. Therefore, it's probally a ton of money cheaper to change the width of the Zeta than it would be the Kappa.

I'm just going by what little I know. Again, there are a couple of people here that can answer your question in great detail if we can get them to chime in.
