Yes, the gas tank location could possibly remain unchanged. I was simply
looking at the filler. Thought it best for the filler to go forward of
the trunk lid. If I recall correctly, if the filler location remained as
on the GT6, it would end up being _through_ the trunk lid.
Just my random thoughts.
