Too heavy at 3400 lbs. Nobody makes light cars anymore but Toyota! Celica/MR2.How about a G35 sedan then? According to the latest Car & Driver, it out-accelerates (0-60 in 6.2s, and thats with an automatic - wait till next year for the 6-speed manual!), out-skidpads, and out-brakes the RSX-S reviewed in the same issue. And it does so while being quieter than a Jag S-Type! All this for a starting price of $27k.
Or, if you don't need 4 doors, check out the gorgeous G35 coupe with 275hp and 6-speed manual:
