I can't think of a lower priced car in it's category, at least here in North America. So, in that way it is the entry to the sports car world. On the other hand, my car as currently equipped is hardly the same as it was as a stock vehicle in terms of power, grip, dynamics. The difference is that the process of making the car that way required my own work and learning whereas a Porsche Cayman for example would eat up my budget before maintenance and possibly destroy it if any components need replacement. I've heard stories for decades about $7K exhaust systems in the 928 and all kinds of exorbitant stuff. I don't need to prove to the world that my wallet can handle getting DP'd.

PS- I know Camaros and Mustangs are cheaper in the US, but unless equipped as such, I do not consider them sports cars at their entry level. I'll take a base twin over a base of either of those 2 other vehicles any time to start.
