I know this is a little off subject but why not a mustang or a F-body? the v6 models wouldent be too far off some of the import stuff for speed and they might actually be a little bit more practical. And the v8 ones would be fine performers just a little thirstier but if your looking at hot hatched and other such speedy jap stuff you wouldent be too much more out of pocket the Mach 1 mustangs get somthing like 24 or so mpg around town i read ill have to double cheak to be sure.

1). Two doors
2). 2 + 2 seats - ie; the 2nd set either not there or useless for anyone but the vertically challanged
3). RWD ONLY!
4). ENGINE - anywhere it'll fit
5). Composite body of some sort
6). Stiff suspension with NO roll.
7). Sub 6.0 sec 0 - 60
8). .... wait I'll get back to you....
