I have a saab 93 2ltr 210bhp areo as the family car. If you put that engine in a car that is 500-600kg lighter, take some weight of the fly wheel so it spins up quicker it could be as quick as a bike engined car. I've been reading up on the saab engines it would seem that by adding a free flow exhaust or in this case removing it and adding an intercooler you'll get another 10-15bhp. You can get remaps and chips for the ECU that will add 50-75 more bhp for £400-600. The only problem is that saabs don't use common ECU's such as bosch etc so have to go to saab tuners. How ever 600kg 225bhp turbo induction and 360bhp per ton if I have my maths correct should be catherham r500 quick.
