this rules out all Ferrari's, all Lambos, all GT3s and most other Porsches, most R8s, most Corvettes, etc.
by your definition, a FWD Civic Si is more of a sportscar than any in the list above.
this rules out Lambos, 911Turbo, 918, P1, and LaF.

... the first things that spring to my mind are rear wheel drive, balanced, performance oriented...
+1!
my comment about manuals is strictly a personal opinion- a car must have a manual for me just because i hate- truly hate- automatic anything transmissions.

Know your audience. For a car enthusiast, it usually means a somewhat lightweight, 2-seat (Maaaaybe 2+2 on an exception basis; 911/RX-8) RWD, manual transmission car.
For the general population, it's anything with 2 doors and/or a spoiler.

But a sports car has a decent power to weight ratio, smaller car, 2 door, likely a manual (really, who are we kidding, it has to be a manual), with no frills or luxuries to take away from the driving.

I like Quikag's definition.
