Probably the RX-8.
-Supercar-like torsional rigidity (30,000+ Nm/deg).
-Relatively low curb weight (slightly over 3k lbs).
-Very low polar moment of inertia.
-Engine not only fails to punish you for maximum RPM usage, but positively rewards you for it.
-Engine incurs much less parasitic loss than a reciprocating piston engine, particularly at high RPMs; thus, despite the low torque, it is incredibly responsive.
-More mid engine than 95% of mid engined cars-- ferraris, lambos, caymans etc. (for clarity, by "more mid engined" I mean the entirety of the engine and the trans is between the axels. This is true of almost no other cars... and none anywhere near this price point).
-More torsionally rigid than any BMW ever made except one. Absurdly more rigid than any car anywhere near it's price point.
-Forgiving to drive
