With an LSD and a stage one tune any VXR would be hanging onto an MR2T's coat tails.

Most modern hatches, bar some of renaultsports offerings seem to come with an LSD these days.Most of them electronics to simulate the feel of an lsd.

As you say most"LSDs" these days are electronic approximations of diffs operated by applying the brakes, a poor replacement IMO.
Renault offer a proper torsen/ATB diff on their top of the line Renault Sport models, and they are also options on their"normal" hot hatch range.

One Vauxhall you shouldnt underestimate is the late model Vectra V6 turbo, definitely has a decent low/midrange punch.Had to look it up on wikipedia after I saw one because i've never heard of it,
probably handles like poo tho.
