IF you got the cash you can get 200bhp... This would involve using TB's and new engine management. IF you want the car to be seriously fast, then I'd recomend fitting a LET in, as you get 200bhp in to start with, that'll set you back about £3k, instead of £1.5k for the XE (but you'd need to spend about £1-2k for the TB's)

Luckb's old corsa had 250bhp on tb's and was stripped out and managed 4.92 0-60, so it is possible with the right mods, dos'nt come cheap though.
