Default Inconspicuous sports car

Does anyone make a car that has all standard "sports car" criteria, but will not get attention? RWD, standard transmission, handles well.....

I love a drivers car, but I dont like a bunch of attention. The closest I can think of is a miata, but I dont know how I feel about modding a car up a bunch to make decent power.


Does a car exist that makes power, handles well, and is as inconspicuous as a camry?

I don't think sports car and " inconspicuous as a camry" really go together, but you can get some decent sleepers along the Camry line.

2004+ Subaru Forrester 2.5 XT with STi conversion.
debadged STI with normal Impreza parts
2004 Mercury Marauder
Debadged AMG Merc
etc...

I assumed as much, I was just seeing if I overlooked anything.

335i/xi coupe. There are so many around and have saturated the market - I give no attention anymore. Having one - It's a wonderful car, fast, reliable, luxurious, etc.

What about an S2000? No one even blinks when they see one on the street anymore. Just avoid red and yellow ones.

The RX-8 and 350Z are similar in that regard too.

I know this isnt a RWD but what about the SAAB 9-2x. Its WRX wagon. Looks just like the Subaru but is a complete sleeper with the SAAB badges

CTS-V? I don't own one but the first gen seem to be pretty reasonably priced. Corvette motor in a Cadillac, pretty sleeper if you ask me, but not a "true" sports car.

I lol'd at 'reliable.' 335i and reliable do not go together. HPFP anyone?
