turbo with LTO batts in the future could definitely be where I'm headed.

Using the stock engine and IMA, my bet is that the car would be downright fast with a small turbo (3-5psi boost), a lithium battery, and gears 1-5 from the Civic Hybrid gearbox (while keeping the Insight's final drive). Probably faster than most cars on the road, and would likely deliver well over 100mpg if you're plugging it in every night.
Of course, that's a lot of modifying.
