I'd like around 100hp at the rear wheels (don't know if the gearbox will handle 
it though).  Low down torque is the most essential part, as the car will mainly 
be doing motorkhana events (at least 6/year), some hill climbs (possibly 
2/year) and the odd sprint around the race track (3/year) and on the 1/4 mile 
(1/year).  So as you can see the low down torque is required for the majority 
of events.  I had thought of just using the Abarth setup like the OT2000, but I 
figured I'd try something no one else in the club has done yet.
