[One] of the classic sports cars that are sure to impress the chicks is the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder which retails for a mere $2,00,000. It has a sleek slim drop top that you only see really on professional race cars usually. It has a bad boy image, like Colin Farrell and comes in primary Hotwheel toy type colors like bright red and bright yellow. The yellow Spyder is considered to be the most playful of the big toys made for grownup men. However the man that owns one is telling women that he is more of a player than a person that is looking for a serious relationship. Still if you own one she will be impressed.

[One] name synonymous with sports cars is Porsche. Yes, the German automaker now builds an SUV too, but that doesn't take away from its sports car offerings. Redesigned for the 2005 model year, the 240-horsepower Boxster roadster starts around $44,000. But the best known Porsche is the 911.

Sports cars can be either luxurious[1] or spartan, but driving mechanical performance is the key attraction. Drivers regard brand name and the subsequent racing reputation and history (for example, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus) as important indications of sporting quality, but brands such as Lamborghini, which do not race or build racing cars, are ... highly regarded.

Adjustable head restraints: What's taken for granted in regular cars is often missing in sports cars. Because they're more likely to have one-piece high-back bucket seats, sports cars sometimes forfeit the adjustable head restraint. (Head restraints are intended to prevent whiplash-type injuries; they aren't "headrests" for occupant comfort.) Aside from the issue of height, the best head restraints adjust forward and backward to minimize the distance to the occupant's head. One-piece seats are always a compromise in this regard.

Two companies would offer the first really reliable sports cars: Austin with the Seven and Morris Garages (MG) with the Midget. The Seven would quickly be "rodded" by numerous companies (as the Type 1 would be a generation later), including Bassett and Dingle (Hammersmith, London); in 1928, a Cozette blower was fitted to the Seven Super Sports, while Cecil Kimber fitted an 847 cc Minor engine, and sold more Midgets in the first year than MG's entire previous production.[3]

If you appreciate and enjoy good sports cars, you probably recall the first time you drove a Porsche. It might have been in the late Fifties or early Sixties, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 coupe. You remember how much character it had, how honest it was. Its solidity, its agile handling, its long-legged gait and its amazing comfort showed it had been made by men who love automobiles.
