I don't think the most current 'Vette Z06 came as a convertable, does it?

Would rally cars be considered as sport?

This entire "sports car" argument kinda reminds me of what a real "ricer" is. Though the original term came from describing Japanese motorcycles, the term is used as derogatroy towards Japanese cars nowadays.

Its so vauge in description, since theres so many different variations.

Like those Crossover SUV/SAV/whatevers. Not quite this, but not quite that. Though Crossovers, I think, is in its own class.

Oh, and where would an M5 fit? mmmmm I love that M5 goodness.

OH! and since M6's were derived from a covertable, with a carbon fiber non-removeable top... sports, or not?


A lot of people bring up good points, but theres so many other things that'll contradict (or so it seems) everyones reasoning. A vauge description would fit for a vauge class. Sports = something sporty. or potentially sporty.
All I'm saying is the original definition was a rwd 2seater vert,it has been changed overtime by popular demand I guess lol. There is a lot of well performing cars that don't fit the definition of a true sportscar. And yes you are correct,their was no vert z06 and therefor technically not a true sportscar,funny but thats how it is. You can see how it got minipulated over time though with the availability of the same cars with hardtops etc.
