Even with the piston engine it should have a very low center of gravity, much better suspension geometry than any of them and a much stiffer chassis. Even if I'm off by 200lbs on my weight estimate (I don't think I am) then I'll at worst be on even ground with the BMWs and the 240.

A local salvage yard has a complete 2.5L engine for $300, so I'm planning to head there on Friday (my day off every two weeks) and snag it.
What kind of boost setup do you need to make that kind of power?
