+1 to that...

A 8,000 RPM 170whp motor would be plenty to get this car around corners

That is why the top of my list is a 4age blacktop, with a 6spd lsd tranny...

It will have plenty of room in the engine bay of a hatch, plenty of upgrades for getting to get even up to 190ish whp with a flash and tune.

Imagine a 190whp Yaris whipping around a corner with a stiff set of coilovers, just blowing past a car that costs double and has double the horses of a stock Yaris...pure magic to my imagination.

I wouldn't say there is plenty of room... infact the 4age blacktop with the 6 speed transmission wont' fit between the stock frame rails... its a very tight fit.
