sports cars are not necessarily roadsters. i would argue that the better ones actually have hard tops.

Using wikipedia to define the idea of a sports car doesnt really work for me. I feel that there are many species of sports cars; exotic (nearly any Ferrari), Roadster (Miata), Coupe (Corvette) ect. Although a sports car does not necessarily need to fall under a species, it can in itself just be a sports car.

I would like to hear others opinions on this as I am not very knowledgeable about the RX8 except that I think it looks cool and rotary cars are usually pretty quick. The porsche is a great car. Have you considered a rotary though. 1st or 2nd gen RX7 can be as enjoyable as the Porsche and as I gather they can be affordable to repair in case you´d have to.

looks, handling, acceleration and flare.

Immaculate win.

But in the snow, oversteer = sideways or backwards into oncoming traffic.

lexicon clearly never drove in snow. understeer is better for joe blow cus 99% of people do not know how to drive, and corecting understeer is easier than oversteer when ur facing a tree on gravel (ie ran off the road) FF can be a sports car, but FR is better cus squat means more traction rather than less :) also better to have ur driving wheels not do steering cus of force circles (max grip available from tire)
in a sports car i look for
#1 is functional looks (if it has a body kit that is aesthetically pleasing yet hinders flow and weighs heaps, then its a fail)
#2 kw/tonne
#3 weight
#4 handling and weight distribution
#5 comfort (its a sports car.. creature comforts usually hinder progress here)
