Given the Mirage 1.2 started with 78hp. A gain of 30 hp is almost 50% over stock HP. And when I say performance, I am not talking just straight line speeds. I am also including how fast the vehicle can corner. And I am not talking about cars with coffee can mufflers so your hearing will not be in any danger.

And like I said, I am just suggesting it based on the requirements of the original thread starter.

The heavier chassis does offer some advantages as the car feels stable at high speeds (160-180 kmh).

The Ford Fiesta is a chunky little car for it's class but the 1.0 ecoboost engine produces 125hp and a lot of torque as well, enough to more than offset the few kiliograms penalty. It was a fun little car when I was test driving it on the roads of Thailand some years back.

What’s up with people thinking the Jazz is only a “decent” performer?

Honda jazz:
2017 Honda Jazz VTi (manual) 0-100km/h & engine sound - YouTube

0-100km/h in 8.89 seconds. That’s faster than a 2.0L Mazda3.

What mirage are we talking about here? G4 or hatch? Pushed around corners, and you are asking for body roll galore on this puny car.
By handling at high speed, do you mean you dont correct the steering wheel everytime for minute changes or sudden wind gust?
