I would still say that you can have all the technology in the world...and it might make some cars "feel" a bit like the driver can have the illusion of driving a sports car.
But there is no way to replicate the feel of a 1275 cc A series engine with an oversized 1 3/4 inch carb powering a 1,500 pound car that is perfectly weight balanced in rear and front on rack and pinion steering with a NON-synchronized 4 speed transmission on skinny 13 x 5 inch intertube tires on wire wheels.
That is a sound, smell (gasonline and oil), feeling (your ass in the seat is about 4 inches from the ground lol), and just pure mojo that you just will never get in a heavy, big engined, power steering, big tires car.
Don't get me wrong...I love muscle cars too.
But it's a whole different experience.
To me, driving a sports car is like fucking that super skinny, tiny tit, tiny ass spinner chick.
And driving a muscle car is like banging that thick bitch with the bubble ass.
Both are GREAT! But completely different feeling.

You should give an S2000 a drive, theyre fantastic driver cars. The driver makes the car IMO. RWD, manual, Coil Overs, and a good corner balance and you can make any car a sports car or handle close to it.
