I've driven a 205 V6 - the weight is VERY noticeable and it utterly ruins the handling. Effortlessly quick though, no question, but certainly not for me.
The GTi-6 lump I've got in mine impacts it badly enough that I'm going to be removing it and going back to an XU9 this winter.
You really need to drive a 205 with an alloy TU in the front to appreciate just how much difference engine weight makes to the way the car drives - something like a 205 XS has a nose so light, agile and nimble that even a standard GTi feels a bit ponderous and inert by comparison.
Back to the OP - should be pretty damned quick when you're done. A 205 with an old-school TD04 is pretty rapid, so with a modern VNT turbo it should certainly shift
