I mean, at some point it is semantics. The overall feel of the car screams GT to me. Maybe I'm a purist. The Ariel guys called my s a borderline GT car, so it's all relative.

Well that is the issue, what once was a sports car might not be one, it is still a 2 seater FR platform, manual transmissions, etc. but is it still a 'sports car.'
Honestly the definition of a lot of cars has been blurred, from sports car to hypercar.

To me, it is too heavy, too big, and the biggest thing is the engine location. If it's not at least Front midship-ish, I view the car as GT.
