4 - worked Honda S2000 (in a clubman) or Alan Hamilton's turboed 968 CS

6 - Porsche 911 RS CS (air cooled 3.8 litre) or two Triumph Rocket straight 3's merged in to a 4.6 litre V6 then stuffed in a clubman (there was a 3.8 Holden engined one up at Winton once that flew)

8 - The English 2.5-3.0 litre V8's (based on 1200cc motorbike 4 cyls) - small enough to fit in a clubman or Exige.

4 cyl - anything cosworth powered - probably a 7 would be the best
6 cyl - Supra with mods (lots of) or Typhoon (again with mods)
8 cyl - Koenigsegg / Saleen / GT would satisfy me quite well
10cyl - M5 (is there any other V10's out there?)
12cyl - Brabus SLR looks mean as hell and has twin turbo (or is it 4) V12 and over 1000hp.
