When were Probes known to be sports cars?
I'd suggest a CRX because a) dime a dozen b) cheap c) light as fuk d) tons of aftermarket support.
If I didn't already have a 240sx waiting for me back home, I'd get a CRX as a project...pull the body straight with a nice color, lots of money on suspension, some on the interior (tastefully gut), and about 250fwhp from either a B16 or B18 turbo.
