    DAMNIT! Can I just remove the driveshafts?

    Fine, so I would pick a Dodge Stealth then. I mean, just look at the thing, it has crazy styling and also had a slew of odd advancements making it quite the contraption. BUT I must add per @Snap's rules that I would have to settle for the R/T model with only a 5spd FWD driveline and 80hp less that the TT version :(.

    "The first generation model incorporated many of Mitsubishi's contemporary performance-enhancing technologies, such as full-time four-wheel drive(DAMNIT), four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics featuring automatically adjusting front and rear spoilers, sport/tour exhaust modes and electronically controlled suspension (ECS).[4] These "Active Aerodynamics" were not used on the Dodge Stealth.(DAMNITAGAIN) Visually, both the GTO, 3000GT and Stealth featured pop-up headlights and noticeable "caps" on the hood to accommodate the ECS controllers at the top of the strut turrets. However the rest of factory body kit differed in styling with their respective badges. Most notable are the Dodge signature cross-hairs on the Stealth front bumper fascia, Ferrari inspired gills on the 3000GT rocker panels, Crescent shaped spoiler on the Stealth commonly referred to as the "Banana Wing" and front Active Aero air dam on 3000GT VR4 (later discontinued on newer models)."

      In all honesty, woudn't any DSM be considered Domestic? Were we speaking built in the United States or made by a US based company?

          Domestic is defined as the big 3 (Chevy/Chrysler/Ford) who are based in the U.S.  Acura, Lexus, etc. are not domestic because they are not based out of the U.S.  DSM's sold by the domestic OEM are domestic but they're counteparts are not.  Same as vehicles built in the U.S. such as BMW X series, Some Nissan's and so on.

            I'll take a 2007 Chevy Malibu SS. One of the first cars I ever drove was a rental Malibu and I just liked it, I don't really know why. While googling what that car was I found they made an SS version with like 240hp, how bad could it be?

              Pretty bad lol.  I mean, as far as this list goes though it's towards the top because they're less bad than the other turds.  At least your choice actually answered the question correctly...

                I would have said '98 Ford Probe GT, 'cept they were discontinued in 97.  I had a 93 - loved that car (most of it was Mazda).

                Why can't the Maples just be happy in their shade?

                  1996 Ford Asipe if it had a Mazda BP engine swap.

                  1800-2000 pounds stock. 130hp and a big rear sway bar would probably be enough to make it amusing. It's like a Golf, except worse in every way.

                        1989 Dodge Caravan.  You could get them with Mitsu v6 engines + 5 speed on the floor.

                            The most underrated US car from '95. Ford Contour ( Mondeo incognito )

                            I actually owned one just like this. 

                            With a quaife, some yellow konis, and race tires it was a capable autocrosser.

                            and completely invisible to the constabulary. 😉

                              apparently I can see invisible things, because that interior is burning my eyes.

                                Quite smurfy.  sign of the times. even E34's got into it.

                                  I would definitely go with the most sporty of the  FWD Domestics from 1991! The Chevy Z26Beretta!

                                  The fanny packs would be droppin' if I was driving this beauty in 1991!
