I'm rather partial to the Iszuz Impulse RS myself.
Ok, some specs:
I-4 turbocharged, intercooled DOHC
Horsepower 160 hp @ 6600 rpm
Torque 150 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm
Weight/power ratio ~16.5 lb/hp
0-60 7.0 sec
Skidpad: 0.88 g
Lotus designed suspension
EPA rating, city/highway 29 mpg/42 mpg
Daily driver with performance.
Now if only I can find one near me for sale...only 800 RS were sold in the US. Can pick one up in good condition for ~$1.5k.
Its a pocket rocket, dosn't really look like one.

After that, the Storm Gsi.
