The M100 broke the mold and really is the only car I can think of that qualifies as a FWD sports car. Their are other fwd sport coupes and GT's but not sports cars. I hate to say it but the Mercury/ Ford Capri for the late 80's early 90's almost qualifies but wasn't any good. I guess that spurs another question. Are we discussing "good fwd sports cars" or sjust attempts to build fwd sports cars (like the capri)?
