Maybe like an S, GTS, Type R, GT3, etc model/rebuild. Then we don't need to worry about a slow/weak engine anymore nor doing a swap with all the custom mounting and engineering. Just get the engine rebuilt, and bolt right in 
270-290whp is all you really need to propel this very little 2775lb car and make it easily on par with Porsches, M series, Vettes, Lotus, etc. at the track. While still retaining the factory cog and overall balance and handling characteristics as well |
Because taking it to that level of outout and reliability would take it to the more expensive car's level of price.
A GT3 engine costs about 45k.
If you can make a 260hp 2.0L engine for 8k, you'd be a very, very wealthy person.
