What is your favorite sports car?
Thanks for the A2AKind of depends on your definition of sports cars. As a whole I prefer sporty economy coupes, which aren’t really the same thing. I doubt you’d call a Tercel a “sports coupe” you know?But, after some thought, I guess I would pick;BMW M3 E36Mmmph. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s just old enough to be slightly reliable and just new enough to be able to pull codes. It’s quick, it’s fast, it’s pretty…. but it’s a BMW so expect to pay 12 thousand dollars for a thermostat. That’s why I don’t own one.Toyota Supra MKIIIIt’s about as close as you’re going to get to a MKIV supra this side of 10k. 2JZ-GTE swaps are both easy and quick, and the 7M-GE/7M-GTE has shown itself as a beast in it’s own right. It needs a little tweaking with the head bolts needing more torque, but it’s a relatively minor problem. The 1JZ-GTE available in other countries is absolutely insane in it’s own right, but in the US you’d be looking at a swap. They have solid double wishbone suspension, and they’re pretty reliable once you give it a few tweaks.Honestly I have a short list of cars I like that are front engine front wheel drive and front engine rear wheel drive that I don’t consider “sports cars”, just “sporty cars”. I’ll give you a brief list here.Toyota Celica GT-SHonda Del SolAcura/Honda Integra GS-R/Type RHonda Civic Si/Type RToyota MR-2 (AW11/SW20) - rear mid engine, rear wheel driveToyota MR-S - Rear mid engine, rear wheel driveChevrolet CamaroToyota GT86/FR-SScion tCMazda Miata (of course)Those are cars that are actually meant to be driven every day, unlike most sports cars which are really meant as weekend/track toys. I’m not really going to get pedantic with it, but I don’t want to get into any arguments about it, either.
