Matt if you are into racing. . .just build one. ground up. Aim for sub 1300 lbs and any 4-door saloon engine with new internals and a little boost would be enough to crush most of your competition. If you really wanted to go all out. . .think Atom or Caparo T1, use an H22a new rods, get a custom 5 valve head(or get a VW 5 valve head and drill new bolt holes) Boost it, take the AC off use a second radiator and you're likely looking at something with oh. . .600+ Hp/ton or 500ish ft-lb torque/ton(The other vehicles mentioned weigh 1.5 tons so divide out that extra weight and then compare on a /ton basis).
