a nice sportscar w/out the high price.

Man, you guys are the best. You all have mentioned so many great cars. The 3000Gt, honda s2000, integra, lotus, spyder, rx 7, miata, solstice, the saturn sky and many more. I never thought there would be so many cars to consider for the look of a ferrari (from the back; wide and low). Secondly, I appreciate all the good points that came with the consideration of every car you all mentioned. Thanks again.

let us know about your upcoming decision....

That is your opinion Slicks, not FACT

YES they are sports cars , just an affordable one with japanese quality ,very condesending to call a Integra Type R a economy car, the early model Type R are very track focussed. When they first came out in Australia they did very well in the Performance Car of the Year. The latter model ones sadly put on weight and lost some of their charisma.

Just because its a V8 doesnt make it a economy car, stop generalising for god sake

Read and learn Slicks please
Honda Integra Type R 1999 - drive.com.au

Stop being a fanboy crybaby. Its based off an economy car, sports cars are NOT FWD, and dont have back seats. And stop ASSuming things, 4 cylinders doesnt make it an economy car, its a sporty FWD grocery getter.

sure they are. moron.

I guess you think Civic Type Rs are sports cars too huh?

They can outperform many so-called sports cars
Not sure if the US Type-Rs might be brain-damaged tho' so your experience of driving one might be tarnished

So a Porsche 911 isn't a sportscar?

So a Porsche 911 isn't a sportscar?

it was once homologated as a touring car....and so was the Alfa GTA...

[Slicks]

Lotus ?

Actually, thats the only one that came to mind at the time.

Mazda ?

Sports coupe.

If sports cars were strictly about performance alone then a Miata wouldn't be a sports car(EDIT: acceleration IS performance too).
And thankfully we don't get civic type Rs here.

[Slicks]

Sports coupe, performance sedan, performance sedan.

Muscle cars/pony cars.

Never heard of it.

[henk4]

Never heard of it.

and of course you did not look it up....

[Ferrer]

So, those aren't sportscars? Come on don't be silly.

[whiteballz]

So, according to slicks, apparently no car marketed as sporty is actually sporty?

WTF IS a "sports car" slicks?

something only american right?

[fisetdavid26]

S2000 looks so hot lowered with race inspired rims! *wets pants*

I second that. Even the part about wet pants.

[The_Canuck]
