Best sports car under 30k?

[Malfeas]

But looking at all the yearly reports, this Top ranked manufacturer can change quite easily. MEH!

What would I buy? It's in my sig, but for new in that price range:
350Z
Mazda Miata
Mustang GT
Pontiac Solstice
RX-8

If you willing to go over $30k:
GTO
WRX Sti
Lancer Evo

audi A4 (26k base), chrysler crossfire coupe (base model is right at 29.x K, probably invoice for less)

this will beat it all: mazdaspeed miata. not that expensive, is a vert, nimble, usable as a daily driver, and is ultra rare.

it's no slouch either and looks great IMO.

My choices:

- Crossfire
- Fbody - SS or WS6
- Z06
- Evo
- RX8
- GTO

Just wondering here, is the Corvette not considered a sports car because it's too "luxurious"??

I would not count cars like the SRT4, RSX-S, Redline, Tiburon Tuscani, etc as sports cars because they're all FWD!! They're all extremely fun and practical cars but they are not sports cars. My buddy had a Lancer Ralliart which was an absolute blast to drive and ride in, and would eat other cars in its class like nothing, and handled extremely well (many characteristics of the evo), but it is by right NOT a sports car, it's more of a 'very sporty sedan'..

ALTHOUGH i would definitely call the Corvette a real sports car, in fact it's considered more to be a supercar..

I didn't bother with reading the details as I'm not in the market - and it looks like you have to be a GM employee (or know one, maybe?) to get in on the final $1k off, but this looked pretty hot:

edit: it's not exactly a sports car, but if you were looking at buying a WRX anyway, the price sure can't be beat.
