More of a sporty car then a flat out sports car, but the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. A RWD hatchback from Chrysler Europe that Lotus tuned. Did solid in WRC as well.

Well it isn't very good....
Can his first course of action be to give Caddy some proper four bangers?
People forget how comeitive they were in Trans-Am. Managed to win the Manufactures championship in 71 and 72, as well as the first drivers championship with George Follmer.
As always, huge grains of salt. Gigantic. Moon-sized salt. That's because Porsche has held off for years on a sub-Cayman/Boxster sports car, even as those two have risen in power and price and prestige, for fear of watering down their brand. (Because SUVs and sedans don't do that LULZ.)
700 HP.... as long as the engine isn't suffering from heat soak.

Ok shit, first the Alpha platform, then the LT1, and now I know GM is going to base the styling on the early second gen F-bodies?! I know GM knows how to fuck up a lot of things, their current track record as of now has shown they don't know how to fuck up A. Performance cars and B. The styling of them (see ATS, C7).…
90 degree V6? Being French this isn't THAT surprising...
Oh lord give me a break. I never got high performance SUVs that completely based around onroad performance (except the GMC Typhoon, but that's different). If they made a Dakar truck for the road that you could DD, then I would be much more interested.
I honestly think Ford has one of the most underrated racing histories ever. Their WRC campaigns are legendary (even if they didn't always result in WCCs), their collaborations with Cosworth were great (F1 and Group C), and who can forget the GT40? Don't forget the various Touring/Stock car series they've been a part…
C&D got a 240Z from Nissan North America so they compare it to a FR-S over a freaking road trip. Try harder br- waiiiit. You guys are obviously in good fortune with Mazda. Well...
If there was a 70 HP or less category, I'm sure I could have won. Or at least placed. Or not come in last. As it was, I was one of the few cars in the 3000lbs or less category, so it may just be possible I came in 5th or 4th or something insane like that. I'm really not sure.
And there was a really great breadth of cars in the event: pristine vintage Firebirds and Camaros, heavily upgraded 911s, one amazing Starion with an LS crate motor, and things like a '57 Chevy wagon with a totally custom chassis and a front-mid-mounted LS3 making around 500-600 HP.
Castration and indefinite license suspension doesn't seem good enough punishment given how much a twat this guy is.
"Brother? You've gotten a lot more angular last time I saw you."
First Matt McMurry (aka the 16 year old who just drove for Greaves at this Le Mans), now Kaylin Stewart. WHY IS EVERYONE MY AGE TRYING TO MAKE MY LIFE FEEL SO INADEQUATE.
When will Toyota ever catch a break at Le Mans?
The '55 Le Mans race looked like it would be one of the greatest since WWII. One British race report praised the variety of the field representing "a United Nations of motor racing." The greatest carmakers in the world were competing, as were the best drivers. Future British F1 champion Mike Hawthorn drove for Jaguar…
"Sportier", aka heavier steering with upgrade in feel.
