Wasn't a market? Are you kidding? Alfa Romeo, Triumph, MG, Porsche, Fiat, Lancia, and Early BMW's were gobbled up becuase there was a huge demand. As far as the cars you listed none are sports cars, they are all too big. Sports cars are meant to be small engined, light little cars that handle well. The Viper is nearly the worst handling car ever built. The Saleen S7 is MASSIVE, and the Ford GT is a bonafide Supercar. As for the arguement for a Vette, once the Big V8s got crammed in, the sporty was gone. Early 6 cylinder Vettes and early Thunderbirds are nice, but they stopped in the early 60's.
