The combination of 240hp and 2800lbs curb weight isn't bad, in fact it's nice. One also gets an LSD as well as traction control. $35k is too much. $29k is more reasonable.
To match the power to weight ratio of the S2000, the NA XF would need 40 more horsepower. That's not a lot.
A turbo spinning at 3psi boost would make that up. Upping the boost to 7 psi raises horsepower to 325 horsepower. Even counting in the added weight of the turbo, this would put the NA XF at a weight to hp ratio of 9.5, equivalent to a CLK550, Lotus Exige S, Porsche Carrera 4S, etc.
Of course, amusingly enough, it would still be less power than an SRT6
