small, high power/weight ratio, rear wheel drive, 2 seats, 2 doors.

 

anything that makes you feel like james bond

 

Well basicly, a sports car over 35k is called a Super Sports Car.

 

I wouldn't call a Z4 3.0 a Super Sports Car.

 

You have to think in order to breathe don't you?

 

Then its over priced, go back and see my 1st post and look at the numbers i said that define a sports car.

 

 

Sports car: An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one-passenger or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds.

Sports Car - Generally any car that offers good performance or fun. Usually a two-door, two seat car, but sometimes they are sport sedans.

Supercar - A supercar is generally a car that does one or several things quite well, usually in speed and/or acceleration.

Grand Touring: (GT) A term used for a sportier car.

roadster: 1. An open automobile having a single seat in the front for two or three people and a rumble seat or luggage compartment in the back. 2. A horse for riding on a road.

Roadster - An open automobile having a front seat and a rumble seat

As you guys can see the definitions vary. I think it is all in the eye of the beholder. If a WRX owner wants to call his car a GT or a sports car, more power to him. The rally cars outperform the 8 so they're sports cars in my book.
I like the term "econosports".

 

The WRX is not a sports car it's a Subaru!!!!!

This is a sports car!!!

 

2 seat

rear wheel drive

mid engine

ie: NSX, MR-2, mid engine Ferarri's, Lamborghini, Lotus Esprit,...........

 

Mid engine is NOT a requirement.

 

So you also don't consider an AWD porsche a sports car? I think the awd porsche is the Carerra 4S, but i could be wrong. I do know that they have at least one awd version though.

 

Same thread going on at a lot of other sites too. This is big time debateable. As far as the insurance company goes even a damn Civic Si is considered one.

 

The Carerra 4S and the 911 Turbo are AWD. I'm not sure about the bias on the 4S, but the 911 Turbo is 95% rear and 5% front most of the time.

 

0 - 60 in under 6 seconds

 

My 4 door sedan is a sports car.

 

Yeah but they CAN put the power to the front wheels, i think the max is like 60/40 f/r, but not sure on that. Still, they are considered AWD
