Since renting sports cars of any sort would probably be pretty expensive
(plus they may have those black boxes which record your driving actions),
you're probably left with only a few options.  I've rarely seen a manual
transmission rental car, so it'll most likely be an auto.  Miatas would be
a good choice, as would a Neon.  Or if you're biased toward RWD, perhaps a
Camaro or Mustang.
