With the possible exception of 4-door rally cars, anything boxy with four doors is definitely not a traditional "sportscar".
The ISF is awesome... for a family car 
2 doors, roadsters and coupes only, please  |
Seriously... I was on the market for a true coupe (ie 2 doors and 2 seats) and lets see what I could have got... Z, miata, lotus... okay nevemind I even asked that. Alfa Romeo not even in canadia nor could i afford one =(
in all honesty, i got the Z with full knowledge of its potentials, qualities, qweks, and draw backs. No other car is like it on the market, I like the design (tight waist wide hips) and the engine. There aren't any comparable engines out there. You cannot compare a FI'd engine to a NA engine because any FI'd car will have a higher output. But what would that engine do non-fi'd? What's the stress on the FI on the car? Will you get the same mileage before the heart goes? So many questions, not enough answers.
Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate all cars.

Not saying it needs to be that extreme, but it would be fun to have an NA hi-revving motor.
I considered a Mustang. I bought the Z because it's lighter and was more affordable for the options.
You also assume incorrectly, and your sentence structure is suspect.

those ultra-hyper revving engines need to be rebuilt after every race so i can't say that's too practical... but would be cool to see if they could push one out for the crowds
