Bigger body, transmission etc.
Those Saxos/106s can be made stupidly light.
You can't strip them out in Road Going Production thou, the most powerful car in A1 is Tony Adams Lotus Elise which is 200bhp.
I think the additional power and 4x4 grip would out way the weigh saving of the Elise.
Dave Parr PB up Prescott in not hugely modified 330 bhp 3 Door is 48.60
Tony Adams PB up Prescott in his highly modified Elise with 200bhp is 48.92
Tony holds the Class records at all Midlands Hills.
I really do think a 1400cc 4x4 Sapp would be class winner.
