Sports Car Information

Several of the sports cars in this report come in a convertible body style. Check our separate report on convertibles for additional performance-oriented drop-tops.

Nothing beats the pure exhilaration of a true sports car, but if family and other factors make a sports car impractical, consider a sports sedan.

In addition, a number of more traditional sedans are doing a better job paying attention to both performance and handling, delivering a sporty -- if not sports car -- experience in a more economical or family-friendly package.

Our report on coupes includes several cars, such as the Chevy Camaro, that offer sporty performance at a reasonable price.

Vehicle specifications and pricing are available at the individual manufacturers' websites, as well as at large, auto-related sites such as Edmunds.com and AOL Autos.
