Since everyone has decided to show me all these fast fwd cars (remember being fast doesn't make you a sports car) let find out what cars are actually the fastest. Power to weight ratios might not me the perfect way to measure performance, but it's quick and easy so that's what I'm using. This is a quick and dirty list I've limited it to one car (the fastest example) per model. A lot of popular fwd cars are missing (FTO, SRT4, CRX) but if they didn't beat a Camry V6 I didn't include them.
Saab 9-3 Aero
Citroen DS3 Racing
Impala SS/Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
Mazda Mazdaspeed3
Honda Integra Type R (JDM)
Toyota Auris Blade Master
Opel Astra OPC
Chevrolet Cobalt SS
Honda Civic Type R Mugen
Seat Leon Cupra R
Renault Megan RS 275 Trophy R
Ford Focus RS500

The 1970 Eldorado is a bonus, the 400hp is a gross rating, net they probably made closer to 300hp.
So what did I forget? :)

It is a race car, but a very quick FWD racecar.

2006 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP
215 bp
2,609lbs
12.1 lb-to-hp
I own a non-JCW Cooper S and it's already pretty damned quick. I can only imagine what it would be like with an extra 45hp. I'd get in
so
much trouble!

Yeah it looks like the GP models would qualify, I only bothered to check the regular JCWs.

Yup it looks like 07-08 Type S would barely make it, can't think any other Acuras that would.

That is a Leon FR (Formula Racing, which is similar to a S-line or M Pack), not a Cupra.
This is a Cupra:

The FWD only Volvo 850R had 240hp out of 2.3L. Way back in 1996 too.
How on earth did you miss this one yet include the Saab 9-3? Blasphemy!
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles
