How much would this thing weigh? Anything less than 15lbs per hp is fun, imo. Closer to 12:1 gets crazy fun. More than that and you'll just get yourself in trouble.
At 1500 lbs you only need 100hp to be fun. A honda 1.7 liter puts out around 125hp iirc, that allows for 1800 lbs.
Im guessing this thing is going to be around 1000 lbs. A modern 4cyl would make it insanely fast.
