well, should any of this actually happen, i'd stick with the ka, swap the intake mani, rebuild the auto tranny to burninate some tires (rather than just sucking), put some forged crap in the block, and turbo it like whoa. (probably a t3/t4... haven't decided on specs yet...) and hopefully run 11's. i guess the 98's were obd2 as well? thats kind of a pain in the ass to have to convert to obd1...
