Search by sport cars and other related classes like minicompact.
The 7 liter vette seems like the biggest displacement. there are 6 and change liter exotic european imports but they're way more than $60k.

Don't they sell a v10 ram for less than 60k?
Probably the Vette unless Dodge has something.

I got it, 2011 Mercedes Benz C63, 6.3L V8, $58,200.
For comparison 2011 Chevy Corvette Coupe, 6.2L V8, $49,045.
2011 Chevy Corvette Z06, 7.0L V8, $74,375.
Dodge has the SRT-8s but I wouldnt call the Charger, Challenger, etc "sports cars". Fwiw, the Challenger SRT8 392 costs around $45,000, 6.4L V8.
Corvette seems like a steal compared to the Dodge's price.

Actually, the Mercedes x63 AMG cars use a 6.2L engine, not 6.3 as the model designation suggests. They use "63" and "6.3" badges because 6.3 is historically significant for them.

Well they round up, its pretty close to 6.3L.
The new ones use a 5.5L engine, and Mercedes is just being stupid with there naming.

you can hardly compare an LX/LC Dodge/Chrysler with a Vette, even though I am honored to be held in such fast company.
Even the Challenger is HUGE and very heavy, even a bit porky is not too unkind. Very sweet drivers though with well proven powertrains and tons of unique content compared to other cars in the segment.
The new Mercs are KILLERS, with the twin turbo V8 they really kick [censored]. Check one out, you'll want it. But I've never seen one for 60k anywhere. Might get an older N/A 6.2 liter model used for that.

Based on all criteria in the subject line, I guess the 392 Challenger wins
He didn't ask for the best, fastest, quickest, lightest, best handling, etc.

Umm, last time I checked, a Muscle Car is NOT a Sports Car.
Let me make a small list of vehicles, and their category:
Challenger - Muscle Car
Corvette - Sports car
Charger - Muscle car if its a large V-8, otherwise its a family car.
Porsche 911 GT3 - Sports car
Ford Mustang - Muscle Car
Ford GT - Exotic Super Car
Ford Tempo - Pathetic Horrible Car
Mazda Speed3 - Hot Hatchback (NOT a sports car, or a muscle car)
Chevy Camaro - Can't see a dang thing out of it Muscle Car
Feel free to continue.

How about a neon green Civic with a Type R sticker?

That would be a laughably hideous ricer. (Assuming all the rice equipment, wing, stickers, body kit etc, because that's what I picture when you mention Type-R stickers)
