+1 on the RX-7. I know Mazda is working on the new 1.6L direct injection rotary but it''s probably a few years away yet. Unfortunately "affordable" sports cars seem to be a dying breed and the current economy seems to be speeding that up. I think what we will start to see in the future is smaller displacement engines (maybe with turbos) in much lighter cars. Think Lotus. I don't think the HP wars can go on forever. If things keep up the way they are we'll be looking at the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro with something like 10.0L engines and 800 hp in about 15 years. Eventually the focus with these cars will have to shift to other aspects besides power.
