Here's a TSi similar to what you've described; it needs a mix of 110 octane leaded racing fuel in order to trap @ just 111 MPH:

The modified TSi would have to trap @ 117 MPH or so through the 1/4 mile and go on to a top speed of 190 MPH in order to stay even with the 'Vette in a straight line over any appreciable length of time. (AWD gives the TSi and advantage off the line.)

Neither the TSi's brakes nor suspension are remotely competitive with the Corvette's.

Almost anything will go if you throw enough boost in it and use the required racing fuel. How durable it will be is another question altogether, though.
