Not sure how much space you have to play with, but, thinking outside the box, how about a Porsche Boxster drivetrain?
Options from 2.5 litre 200bhp to 3.2S 250+bhp, normally aspirated, six cylinder wail, 7,000rpm, low centre of gravity, the option to legitimately run 'powered by Porsche' decals and Martini stripes (if that's your thing) and a manual or auto/tip gearbox and gear linkage engineered from new for a mid-engined car.
Not a cheap option but not that expensive either. The result would be one hell of a 550kg GT car.
