That sounds about right. I mean an SRT, SVT, R series, AMG or Black series, Z06, M class, and so on, are cars designed for a sport purpose, in theory. So SIs should fit, in my opinion. It wouldn't be fair to just say the S2000 is the only model that is sporty. Although that is a car I have little personal experience with, I only hear great things.

Mustang Dave, if you had a 2011+, your mileage would be crazy. Thinking about by EPA standards maybe not so much, but with your work on the five speed, the six speed would be very impressive.

What's everyones favorite sports car? Not sporty...but real, performance car.

I'd have to argue the 2007 Ford GT. Or is this more appropriate for a new thread?
