BMW does a very good job with the 3 series making a very fun sporty car most anyone can own. Some may have to buy used but still a fun car that can change your driving experience for ever and still provide you day to day versatility. The m3 gives you super car feel and close to performance while maintaining the same versatility and does it better than any other car manufacturer in my opinion. There are not many cars as fun you can get all the family groceries in the trunk and the kids in the back seat!
The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's tuning branch BMW M. M3 models have been derived from the E30, E36, E46 and E90/E92/E93 3-series, and sold with coupé, sedan and convertible body styles. Common upgrades over the "standard" 3-Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive (yet at times smaller) engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, more aggressive aerodynamics/body, and multiple interior/exterior accents with the famed tri-color "M" (Motorsport) emblem.
Agreed. From the begining with the E30 all the way thru to the current E90 models. Sure, they may not be as fast as the SLR or McLaren (which the F1 uses a BMW motor), but I dont think just because a car is fast it should be the best. BMW M cars are the best all around sports cars.

Common a hemi it cant even turn at high speeds that car is a pure drag.
puke! Mopar is the Hyundai of the 60s and 70s. people only bought the ugly things because they were cheap, lighter than the better built Fords and Chevys and had decent engines. Their sticks were junk. there styling was always terrible and their build quality was always crappy, just like today..

The Shelby Mustang is a high performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 through 1970. Following the introduction of the fifth generation Ford Mustang, the Shelby nameplate was revived in 2007 for new high performance versions of the Mustang.

I regularly saw Hemi and 440 six pack Cudas mop GT's up and down the drag strip.

Top up or down it has world class handling, braking, and almost world class power. Yet a long way away from world class price. Able to take enough stuff for a long weekend and dependable enough to get you home over and over again. Will still turn heads almost anywhere. Oh, and it really doesn't need a turbo, superchager, or any traction control PCM etc stuff.

yeah but doesnt it cost like $1 million??I think a great sportscar should be in the realms of possibility for everyone...
This is by far the best car ever made. Fully handmade carbon fibre body and still beats nearly every modern day car around nurburgring. Idiot americans.

Gtr 2010 (thumbs down) the r32,r33, r34, r35 are way more incredible. Especially the r32.
Even the 800 hp Toyota Supra can't win a race against the new Nissan GT-R35

Affordable, fast, incredible at corners, high hp, rotorary engine, twin turbos or single turbo, wings, incredibly slick design the monster of its generation and still used today the RX7
the gen 3 rx7 was the best car i have ever driven.fantastic handeling,fast and just a sexy sleek look.i miss that car every time i drive my girlfriends ford fiesta
The first Generation RX-7, a lean nimble masterpiece of minimalist engineering. Drive one and you will be hooked for life.
This car can be steered with the throttle, as Road& Track put it, "entire city blocks can covered sideways"
Light weight, low centre of gravity, 50:50 weight balance, double wishbone aluminium suspension and timeless design. The rx7 has all the ingredients of a pure sports car and will be a future classic.
agreed! the rx7 is one of the only real and true sports cars on this list. Much of the cars posted, although fast, are not true sports cars. there is a clear difference between a pure breed driving car and a fast sedan. Just like how most ferraris and lamborghinis should never be classified as sports cars but as supercars. Sports cars should be small, light weight, and fun to drive. Driving a sports car should be all about the fun in driving which doesnt only include straight lines.
Mazda Rx7, a rare gem in an extremely small collection of true sports cars.

guys, at the trop of the list, besides the mustang, are ferraris mclarens and porshes. THEY ARE NOT SPORTSCARS!
Comments:
You fool their are different types of sportcars! Whats your list of “sportcars”?
This is about the impreza world rally cross car. And its a monster when it comes to rally, cornering and mountain racing.

to my point of veiw the best sport car ever shoud be the holder of the qualities that follow : heavy duty durability of the engine at extrem abuse , very very easy to fix and if posible by owner , sophisticated and simple at the same time, med price tag, of course very styled the engine has to be small and light, good gas milage ,compact body shape a 2 sitter car and the vette s got all that and thats what i call to be just about the best sport car

This was Toyota's falgship sportscar with bulletproof reliability and the perfomance numbers to put anything near its price range to shame. This car has a cult following because of its aftermarket support to easily put down supercar numbers with minimal investment. Increase the boost and airflow with bolt-ons and it performs reliably with the likes of the Porsche 911 TwinTurbo.

Freakking heavyyyy as hell lol but the power is a freaking monster lol
This Beast is the Best ever is The Best Ever was and the best ever will be

When Nissan introduced this car in 1990, it set the bar for affordable sports cars with 300hp. It was easily tunable to over 400hp with mere bolt-ons.
Comments:
S15 im hoping pretty sure its not the S14 but their both great cars to drift :)
What a great car! Where do you want me to start-the special key,the looks,the perfomance.The best

While racing the same car on the 401 in TO back in "76 we both started being chased by a couple of sleeper cop cars at 2AM. We ran for about 2 - 3 miles then decided to pull over and I'll never forget how visibly shaking thr cop was who pulled me over! He had a real hard time just writing me up a ticket I'm guessing because it's the 1st time he'd ever driven that fast. If I hadn't worried about him maybe having my plate number there's no way he would ever have caught me. I'd just past 160 on the speedo when I realized he was about a mile behind me; what a blast. Thare was also no other traffic at that time of night or it would've ended a lot sooner also.

202mph supercar that handles better than your 599GTB and 0-60 around 3.5 secs(around the same as the Enzo's), costing less than ÂŁ170,000 and goes round the Top Gear track in 1:19.1, a good 3secs better than the McMerc SLR and 599GTB, 0.8 seconds better than the 599GTO and just 0.1 seconds than the ÂŁ950,000 (illegal in UK, only left-hand drive) Enzo... and every car above is at least ÂŁ150,000 more expensive than the 458. Don't go complaining about the wheelarch fires, the cars have been took back, fixed, and returned (the 10 victims have been given a fixed 458)... without messing with the performance. And it revs to 9,000rpm. Any questions? No? Good.

the 1998 is the LAST 240sx made, the 1991 was the BEST one made, period
Yes, agreed: the 1991-240sx fastback 5sp is the best one made. the '91 is the fastest & lightest 240sx of the 240 saga.
This is a TRUE DRIVER's sports car!!! The best one ever made is the "1991-240sx fastback w/ 5-speed manual-T". Timeless styling, 50/50 balance, rear-wheel drive, and handling 2nd to none. The perfect road-racing track car that can be used also as a daily driver. You hardly ever find a 1991-240sx fastback-5sp for sale due to the owners never wanting to sell them. If you truly appreciate a GREAT sports car set-up, go get one and it'll be the most rewarding experience you'll get in a daily-driver/weekend road-racer. Only one thing, VERY hard to find a 1991-240sx-fastback w/ 5-speed. Good luck hunting.

240 is a classic all around sports car. Nissan paid a nice homage by way of the 240sx-another great sports car respected by all.

Best and light sport car, mid engine rear wheel drive, superb handling, great look!!
51.
Japanese sports car better than the Impreza WRX STi...no,wait,probably even better than an Evo X!

The Fastest car Aston Martin has made. Also the most expensive. $1.5mil.+. Only 77 were made. A middle-east man bought 11 of them. One would ask, WHY?
Comments:
How the fridge is it 45th, it has phenomenal handling, could outdrag an Enzo, XJ220, Reventon, EB110, Pagani Huayra, Koenig C62, Callaway C16, etc., has been rated better than a 'Vette C6 ZR1, Viper CC, Porsche Carrera GT, even the Zonda C12...
58.
this car will easily do 150mph. And its such goood quality, 'cause you can easily get a 2000 one for under $6000. even $1500 for a 1993. it'll kick mustang butt.
Comments:
Awsome years. The LT1(93-95) 6.1(M) 5.9(A) top end 155 (96-97) 5.8(M) 5.5(A) top end 165. LS1 (98-02) 5.3(M) 5.5(A) 160+ Difficult to work on, but very areo dynamic and would crush the Stangs of day. But due to a more limited market of the Camaro it ended.

the eunos 30x was a small Japanese sports coupe. it has a unique 1.8l 24 valve v6. it may not have the most powerful or torquiest engine here, but it does have the smoothest. due to the V.R.I.S. when you reach 4500 rpm it has a sudden boost of performance with sound which scares away any competitors!!!!....if you want better performance than go for manual. if you want a car with good handling than this car is perfect. although it is a front wheel drive its supple suspension, light weight and small size gives it good handling. not just good handling but best in its class handling, handling so good for a front wheel drive that you can in fact drift with it. with its good performance in speed and handling it has a body to match, with a smooth design, low stance and a sculpted spoiler. this car has room for 4 people and has bucket seats. overall this car has excellent performance, a nice design and room for 4 people.all that for just $ 4000 to $12000. now thats what you call a good sports car.

One of the fastest street cars (60 mph in 3.2 seconds). Without all the computers they put now between You, Car and the road. Pure adrenaline with over 200 mph.
61.
Shouting just got louder... and shoutier. It's one of the nicest cars, possibly the 7th best car on earth in my opinion, with 0-60 in 3secs, 202mph top speed, V10 engine with 550bhp and 5.0l capacity...but it's the size of a V8 and weighs the same as a V6. It's carbon fibre, very light, one of the nicest things of all time, has a computer game-like revometer(a normal one won't keep track of the way it gains and loses revs) and if you modify it well enough, you'll get 12,000rpm. Not saying the standard 9,000rpm is awful. One downside... it's ÂŁ340,000.

one hell of a car...it actually is classed as a supercar, although it doest generate enough horse power to be one.

A truly great car and underappreciated by all but true drivers.

For British manufacturer Lotus, high-performance is all about simplicity. A lightweight, stripped-down car with a modest engine is the Lotus ideal -- the pure sports car. The new Lotus Elise fits that ideal perfectly. It weighs less than a ton and only has a four-cylinder engine, but it's fast enough for most and has handling characteristics that more than one automotive magazine has called "telepathic."

240 mph.2nd fastest car when released in '98(beaten by Mac F1 by 5mph), still in the top 10 today.Also incredibly nice,'nuff said.

English Made, skelleton body, weighs 500 KG with the best 4 cylinder engine out there, a 2.0 VTEC of the newest Honda Civic. Versions from 300 to 350 HP with Compressor.
Its a pure race car for the street and pretty dangerous for newbies. Beats almost any other street car on almost any race tracks.
Only disadvantage is the top speed, which must be limited for safety to about 230 to 250.
0-100, 0-60 is about 2.6-2.8 seconds
82.
How was it not on here? It could out drag an Audi R8 V8, and had a 183mph top speed. In 1963. Actually, some guy outdragged a 458 in it.

1760 cc, 550 horsepower, both turbo and supercharger, 4 wheel drive, 2.3 seconds to 62mph, all packed in the most menacing hatchback body ever made. And it's been around since 1985.

Er, where do I start? hmm... gold chassis on outside...500hp...25 made...power-to-weight ratio 940hp/tonne...490kg...0-60 in 2.3secs...gold wheels...beat the Veyron SS on the top gear track...3.0l...road-legal... engine from the worlds quickest motorbike, the Suzuki Hayabusa... 150,000 pounds... has incredibly light yet sinister spoiler... I think I've said enough.

not on the list but one of the most recognizable iconic cars of the last 40 years. james bond's "submarine car". julia roberts taking the wheel from richard gere in "pretty woman" and the car of choice for super hot sharon stone with two of them in basic instinct. how could this car not be on the list? it competed with and ran with the ferrari's, porchse's and lambo's of the early 80's to mid 90's.

The most underated muscle car of all time will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds stock. My grandpa owned one when i was little. He did alot to it and still do this day was the fastest car i have ever been in.

3.5 Engine at 290HP N/A. A truly remarkable v6 coupe with serious perfromance abilities. The only car comes to mind as in competition Mustang GT v8 and S2000.
I didnt see them make it in this list.
