Saab have recently:

I can't help but think that a 350bhp+ GTA would probably not be the nicest car to drive anyway other than on a race track. The Europa cup cars were massively quick and only had 300 bhp, but combined this with light weight a la PeterG.
Kevin Jones at C.A.R. wrote an article on his 530bhp+ autograss racer based on an A310 engine and gearbox, but if you read it, it's pure race spec. Water and alcohol injection, 3.2 litre, 12 injectors, twin T3/T4 hybrids, 12.2mm lift cams, dry sumped, big valves and 2.5 bar of boost.
Anythings possible if you have the money but that's not to say it's going to make a great road car.

you never know it might not be that bad,theres a few cars in the family that have twice as much power as standard and they all seem to drive very well maybe its down to how they are set up
