Watched the /Drive video about Bruce, the SAAB collector extraodinare.

Now I want an old SAAB more than anything. But, I'd rather not deal with the whole 2-stroke mess/lack of power.

So...I want to put this:

Into one of these:

If GM would hurry up, then I'd be okay with using their 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo motors.

Why not slap a B202 in there? At least then you'd be keeping it in the family

True, but I like the idea of the 3-banger turbo. It's a very SAAB solution.

I'd like to keep it a bit more authentic. Therefor I would opt for a 2-stroke engine with enough power, I give you this 500cc Honda V4 2-stroke:

It's just about 180bhp and will be undrivable with that 12.000 rpms so this is probably even a worse idea! But never think about 2-stroke of having lack of power...
