What about a BMW 2002 with ///M power?  do all the
neeto go fast tricks, and get to the podium my friend.

That is one STU possibility that is extremely simple,
as well as fast, proven, and reliable.  Someone
earlier said that they would start with a proven
platform...this would be perfect.  Throw on a turbo if
that's not enough hp to satisfy...

All this talk about these huge monster motors in tiny
cars brings me to a question that's been bothering me
for a long time... 

How much motor is too much motor for a good autox car?
 I know that the drag car crowd runs enormous hp
numbers, but that's straight line stuff...how much can
you lay down going the twisty route.  Can anyone
build, say, a porsche 917 and expect all 1400 HP to be
useable in an autox? Where is the limit?

Buddy.
