Use cobalts 5sp manual and you have a nice quick efficient deathbox that will at least be a nice marketing tool.
GM have small engines with a little ooomph. The 1.6 low pressure Turbo with 150hp (Corsa GSI) and the 1.6 high pressure Turbo with 180hp (Meriva OPC, Astra) and with 192hp for the Corsa OPC.
