Of course you could swap in a K20 and six speed, still get decent mileage(for a 12-13 sec car)
CR-Z, 2015+ Fit and 2016+ Civic turbo have 6 speeds that may bolt up, in descending chance.

Biggest hurdle is final drive IMO, none of these cars have particularly tall gearing when paired with the Insight's tiny wheels. A custom final drive may be available but will likely exceed the cost of the transmission - mine did.
