Buy/Drive/Burn: The $13,000 Sporty Car Question of 1988

In the recent Shelby CSX Rare Rides entry, long-term commenter 28-Cars-Later suggested some sporty competitors to the Shelby, all of which cost the same according to the state of Michigan. Japan, Germany, and America are well-represented in today’s trio.

Which one sets your sporty-small-car heart aflame in ’88?

Slavuta Nah.. I love Manual Trans, and Engine sounds. Plus, most EVs have an offensive designs, especially in interiors, and increased privacy concerns. I don't like regenerative braking and heavy cars.
FreedMike I guess there's no Rivian love for Mitsubishi Mirage owners. Darn.
MaintenanceCosts I already have one EV but lower prices might make me a bit more likely to replace our other car with another one.
FreedMike I'd take one of these with fewer miles, or the last-gen V90 (NO Cross Country frippery, thanks), which was a lovely car.
3-On-The-Tree I had a 69 Thunderbird with a 429 and it did the same thing.
