Glad to see some, err "robust" discussion. I'm inclined to agree that adding too much power can ruin a good car, but I don't know enough about ti to say where that point is for a Barchetta. My personal guess is somewheer between 180 - 200bhp as long as the suspension and brakes are done too. Of course this also depends on how you get there.........
What I do know is that my brother has got a BBR MX5 1.6 on an H plate which is working fine. I think it's up around the 160/170bhp mark so if you don't go crazy and do the job right it will last many years.
