GarandMarine:
Well you certainly can't participate with THAT kind of cowardly dross.

Well, there's also the whole matter of replacing the transmission and reinforcing the chassis. Used to work with a guy who (with some friends) decided to stick a Jaguar V12 into a Ford Fiesta and the motor nearly tore the car apart.

Don't underestimate the little cars. Mini has 4 consecutive overall victories in the Montecarlo Rally back in the 60s.
And obviously I wouldn't go in the competition without doing some tuning. Although I probably wouldn't enter the Aveo and still have it street legal regardless. It's FWD. Ew.
Life would be much easier if my 1992 Legacy hadn't given up on life :(

Also, I don't think I'd be able to fit an engine big enough on my 1.2l Chevrolet Aveo.

That'll fit in your engine bay 8-)

That's literally a 2 stage turbo. As in, a turbo fed to other turbo. Sweden, man.
Reminds me how the dude in charge of Lancia didn't believe in turbos. They won the first Group B world rally championship with a supercharged engine. And then he had to give in and put a turbo on the Delta S4 - which was too big, so he put a supercharger for low revs.
Let's be fair, we've been force-feeding air to our engines since the late 70s. We're just going crazy with it now.
