Well, let's just try it this way: 
now 100 kg less:
Now we can work out how much hp we need to achieve the same kg/hp with a car that weighs 1000 kg.
So in that case saving 100 kg is about the same as having additional 15 hp.
1000 kg/132 hp = 7,57 kg/hp
900 kg/ 132 hp = 6,81 kg/hp
1000 kg / x hp = 6,81 kg/hp
x = 147 hp
x = 147 hp

A Nova GSI should weigh around 870 kg's.
The recent Subaru WRX (6-speed-gearbox) weighs 1495 kg, however you'll have to take away at least 75 kg's from that. There has been a EU law since the middle of the nineties which requires that they include the weight of the driver and some petrol in the tank in those figures.
What is the Astra MkII? We have different names for them here. Is it the one from the eighties aka Kadett E?
