[Bug@5speed(US)]

I can chime in on the power..

I drove Martin's (Bugat5speed) car, with a 1.8 lt and a 5 speed, and was very impressed on the roads we drove. Very easy drive on public roads, with power to pass.

Not sure what your plans are, but I would think the 2 lt would be a little more torque than the 1.8. If its a DD, and part time fun car, definitely enjoyable and powerful.

If full out track, then you may need something more powerful than 140-150 Hp.
