However, this is from a purely technical standpoint.

I think the OP (leedog) meant GT cars, judging by the examples he provided. As far as Japanese sports cars go (speaking purely sport with little or no 'GT' element), I am still most inclined towards the S2000 (despite its Jekyll/Hyde power delivery).

But, with you srika:

yeah I guess I was going by what the thread-starter said... this thread is not about the technical definition of "sports car".

the S2000 is a contender as well, esp since its roots are the S500/S600... hmm.. maybe my technical answer is now the S2k. :P

wow check this out! had no idea the S600 had a redline of 9500 rpm??? madness!

Some facts about the S600:

* First Honda car offered in two trims
* Engine capacity 606 cc
* Horse power: 57 at 8500 rpm
* Top speed: 90 mph
* Redline: 9,500 RPM
* Carburetors: 4
* Convertible weight: 1576 pounds
* First "mass marketed" Honda car
* 11,284 built between '64 and '66
