Funnily enough the Integrale (EVO) isnt as light as you'd think, weighing in at 1340kg its pretty heavy for a hatchback... Youre absolutely correct about power to weight being vital. But take a look at this:
Integrale EVO 158bhp/ton
Audi S3 quattro (225bhp model) 166bhp/ton
yet the 'grale burns the S3 off the lights and on the twisties..... so while power to weight is important, you gotta have the chassis to back it up.
take note, Audi
