I had a 95 Z28 and a 98 Z28 vert. On the 95 I had a license plate bracket that read, "WHEN I GROW UP I'LL BE A CORVETTE".

1996 Camaro Z28/SS w/ NOS --RIP 3/2004
Saved my life! I walked away from an accident on a 5 lane freeway after hitting both concrete barriers and several cars hitting me. Surgery on my neck, titanium plates, etc...still need knee surgery...
Boy, do I trust American muscle --CHEVY!
Still have: 700hp '88 Mustang GT; blown '98 Chevy P/U (husband's DD)

Really none other than a Vette. I've owned several Stangs and a few muscle cars from the 70's, but I really don't consider those sport cars.

My most recent was a '93 Mitsubish 3000GT SL. It was a nice driving car, but underpowered and the front-wheel drive was a little disconcerting in a sports car. I only tried once on an open freeway, but it had problems getting up to 100. The Vette still pulls like a freight train at those speeds.
