Well, catless + E85, I'm putting about 200 HP to the ground and 160 tq. My car isn't ruined but there's no extra weight either. The car in fact is a lot more fun and lively now. But with the extra 40 HP or so, and then adding a small passenger or cargo makes the car very different and less fun.
IMHO, if I added a bunch of stuff to increase weight and add a lot more power, I can see how the car would completely change character. With a light passenger I feel a major difference in the car and that weight is near the center of the car. Sure the power would overcome the sluggishness of the weight, but if there was all that weight up front, I can see the handling going to shit. I haven't tried to sit that passenger in the engine bay though, so I can't say for sure. Volunteers for the duty are hard to come by.
