Lotus Elise... Forced induction conversion... A bit more expensive than a 986 but the drivetrain in that car (the Toyota inline 4, not the British Rover garage) is bulletproof and you can easily push that car to 250hp. The car only weighs 2000 lbs so youre now into supercar territory for lbs/hp.
An interesting side note about those cars - I have been looking at them for about 3 years and I have never seen one still for under 35k, which is the same price they were several years before that. They may age, but they don't depreciate much if any (even with mods)
Bcr is right - you can swap the engine and transaxle in this car and make serious power, either with an Audi setup, Subaru setup, or whatever your imagination can dream up. As crazy as it sounds though, your car won't be worth jack if you ever got to sell it.
