What race would this be for?
94 Celica
Put it to like 350 hp (it’s plenty) and on racing softs it will be around 700
I imagine you can put hards on it and raise the suspension a little and be around 656
Nothing in the street car variety around 2000cc can really touch it from my experience. Especially if you gear it to top out at 160 mph and a focus for acceleration
Downsides of this car
Fuel consumption and tires
If those are not a factor then it should beat every other 2000cc street car

This is what I had a few months ago for the celica. Would show the gears but I have changed it since then and don’t have a screenshot.
This car with this setup was able to do low 1:48s on the autopolis full course with consistency
It’s somewhere in the realm of better than GR4 but not as good as GR3. Which is pretty good imo for a 350hp car

If you want slightly left-field suggestions,
then engine swapped RX-7 '02 with the racing 787B might work - certainly if fuel economy is important. I know the engine is technically smaller than 2 litres. The RX8 might be better, as it is a heavier car, and will therefore run with 'faster' tires. I think I've used these in the Toyko 600pp race - so they should work well for a 650pp event.
Has the Honda Civic Type R '20 got a smaller engine than 2-litres, I think it does from memory. On its own it'll probably be pretty competitive. Engined-swapped In the Mini Cooper '65. I seem to remember it was pretty fast, but it needs a good tune.
I know the '89 Eunos/MX5 has an engine swap from RX=7 but I've no experience with this
Can you use a group 4 car? I think that there are a few with engine sizes smaller than 2-litres?

SORRY - as others have correctly pointed out this was wrong. The 787B engine is 2.6 litres

I don’t think any of these races require that much effort. The rabbits slow down on lap four and five, or later on longer races. I have never had to find the “one car” that can win. I’m not a good driver. Below average really. I can always win races with a car well under the pp cap.

Not quite right.
the 13B is a "2 disks/rotors/combustion chamber" Wankel engine with about 650 ccm each, i.e. a total of 1.3 liters. The 26B is a "4 disc/rotor/combustion chamber" engine, ie 4 x ~650 ccm, which means that the 26B has a capacity of 2.6 litres.
