This would be ideal, however the key is to find one that has already been done by someone who has spent all the time and money to do the conversion.
As far as being under powered, there is a long history on small sports cars with equally small engines, Miata comes to mind and Mazda has sold boatloads of them. My 944 was fast enough to break loose (and easily recover) when driving the SoCal canyon roads.
Then there is the rumor among the 944 crowd that Porsche held back the HP on the 951 so it wouldn't be faster than the 911 (a 951 can do 300HP with just bolt on's).
Reaching for my aluminum foil hat.
PS Sure you can find a $6000 944 but it will soon need $6000 of work.
