Well...the perfect example of a sports car is a Viper. All those others are reasonable compromises.

MINI Cooper R56 John Cooper Works. FWD, 6 speed manual, 208 hp/210 tq (233hp/238 tq in sport mode with overboost), limited slip, BMW engineered suspension, Brembo 13.2'' big brakes, limited slip, DTC/DSC/ABS all standard. It's a track car IMO..so i'd consider it a sports car.

For about $1,300 you can get it tuned, intake/exhaust, and rear seat delete kit. You'll have 300 hp/300 tq and save about 45 lbs.

The more important question should be: Does a sports car have a cup holder and heated seats?

Of course the answer is no.
