I would say no for FWD being a sport car. Usually if the fwd car is sporty at all it's a hatch, has 4 seats etc. The old soneet is probably as close as you could get to a FWD sports car but in rescent years there isn't anything out there.
With understeer of fwd cars, awd also understeers quite bad & with all cars, there are simple fixes to allow the car to be more neutral or oversteer. My fwd track car is setup for oversteer
it's true, a srt-4 is just a fancy neon just like a wrx/sti is a expensive impreza or a evo8 is a overpriced lancer. Then look at the viper which was a mix of truck parts
Someone mentioned the Acura legen & it's engine/trans being mounted behind the front wheels to reduce torque steer & improve weight dist. However the trans/motor are installed equal length drive shafts are the best way to minimize torque steer. My FWD car has the motor/trans sitting partially in front of the drive shafts. My engine sits front to back & has equal drive shafts which minimiza torque steer. I think a lot of the reason acura's & most other n/a japanese cars do not have torque steer is because they do not have much torque.
