Kris, why not throw in a large single cylinder four stroke engine? The latest breed of them (around 650cc) produce around 80hp tuned, but more importantly..massive amounts of torque (as much or more then a 4cyl racing engine). I think it would still be mad fast, lighter and due to the wider power band, much more fun to drive (less shifting).
BTW: I would keep the shifter manually operated by some kind of lever. electronic shifting is very prone to failures and difficult+expensive to repair.

Our little formula student car was similar i think. 75bhp@130kg, but had vastly better suspension and monocoque. That thing was just plain mad. The drivers decided to leave the car in 4th gear for the whole race. It would still smoke the tires at any rpm, and these were custum slicks made from a ultra soft and sticky compound.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
