Interesting list. Are they talking about the MARK IV supra? - I would disagree.

I can imagine the blurb in 10 years:
[QUOTE]"Honda made a street-legal racecar that was a gem, but unfortunately higher than the driving abilities of the people buying them... many of them young and new to RWD.

Despite Honda's efforts to detune the car in subsequent generations, people pulling fuses and deactivating the traction control while totaling their vehicles made the upper management realize that putting a car this fun and raw into the hands of 18 yo kids was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Unfortunately this spelled the end of the S2000 and in 2010 after years of speculation the model was terminated.""

I wonder what the criteria were. I don't consider the Focus RS to be a sports car even though I suspect it's a wonderful little car. The 350Z would never make it to my list. The Miata and Corvette are both missing. Again, without knowing the criteria it's hard to tell.
