sports cars

I think we we need a topic here to stir things up. Getting a little dull. NO Politics or Covid-19 !! In my mind, there are different kind of sports cars. Old MG's, old Triumphs, old Austin Healeys - etc. Then came along the Porsche 912, 911 (and even the low end Karmann Ghia). Around the same time the Corvette appeared, ooh, but it had a V8. No, I am not forgetting the Fiat or the Alfa - but they are Italian !! Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis were always GT cars, and not "sports cars". I don't think we need to go over what a GT car is - or do we? The early Mazda RX7, Miatas and 240Z's are sports cars. The Soltice/Saturn Sky are sports cars. The BMW Z4 is a sports car. The Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger, Fiesta, MX3 (in my mind) are not sports cars. You can have fun in them - but they are not true sports cars. Oh - how do you classify the MB 450 SL, Cadillac Allante, Buick Reatta and Chrysler GT - all two seater ragtops? Who did I forget? Mercury Capri XR2 ? If you can't buy it off the dealers lot, it is not a sports car - it is a race car. Sorry Porsche 550 etc. You can call the MR2 Spyder a "runabout" , but aren't all old school sports cars runabouts? I hate having these discussions with my Celica, and Datsun friends. Who disagrees or agrees with me? Or is this old topic not worth rehashing ?

My 911 didn’t come with the option of a back seat…
