I like my Polo, built it, precisely for that kind of reasoning.
Torque steer, noise, gearbox breakages occasionally, but I love it.

Most people hate it and don't understand, so it's refreshing to hear someone who does. * +

The Rover V8 isn't a great engine, my carb'd 1.6 has move power than a mates 3.5 V8 Rover had when it was new. It's a very old design and has inefficient ports, combustion chamber, and valve chain.

But a boxer Subaru engine won't go in a Capri without massive work, due to dimensions.

My choice would be something like an Alfa V6 or Ford-Jag V6/AJV8. Or BMW straight six or even V8 if it'll go in.

Thats a standard Rover V8 then. Theres a place called real steal that do performance add ons for them and trust me you can make a lot of power with a Rover V8. * +

Its same with yank V8...standard not much horsepower but with the right parts and work you can push out well in excess of a 1000hp. Its all down to what work your prepared to do. Its same as when we first started hearing of the 1000hp skylines years ago. Those guys put a lot of work in to get them figures * +
