of course you can always go 8+ litre V8 with two turbo's as well

Quite a few NA Flat 6 engines would show your Saab a clean pair of heels and give you over 300lb/ft.

Yes, but they need 3.8 litres to do it and cost 80 grand plus, even then to do it properly a turbo is still involved.

Ah so you think sub 10secs to 100mph and 188mph top speed wouldn't be enough to do it properly?

I'd prefer a nice n/a engine for the weekend toy that would see lots of track action for all the reasons cited by many on here (Lotus-Cortina, BDA Escort or M3 CSL please ..... or a Hemi-Cuda )

BUT...for a road car though, I've been happily riding the crest of a petrol turbo torque wave for over a decade now, and wouldn't have a n/a 'road' car again.
