I would question the potential of a car based on two things :
How much hp the engine can make and still last well
How much abuse the gearbox can take and still last well
I suspect that :
The engine is a modern one that is not as strong in the bottom end etc as older equipment
The box is typically mazda and will die at a moments notice or by having a pucked disk waved at it ;-)
Having said that, how much power etc do you need to enjoy your car? My standard is :
100hp per 1000kg, disk brakes on all four corners, 2 camshafts per bank of cylinders, >= 15" wheels, EFI.
Beyond that is a bonus :-)
EVO's will run 13.0 with zero mods.
