Sports car IS NOT how many seats you have. Its HOW WELL a car can perform under a given set criteria. Once a car achieves or exceeds that skill seat criteria. Its nominated as a sports car.
This is why I refain from calling the Z a "True" sports car and I just choose to call it a Dedicated" sports car. My definition of a Dedicated Sports Car is a car with 2 seats and no room for practicality. Does that make it better than a car with 4 seats?? Well if the Z can't beat it then its not better. Plain and simple.
As far as cozy in the cockpit... well that's subjective. Iagree with you there but one mans cozy is another mans cramped.

PS there are Ferari's and porsches with back seats.

Well, to me, maneuverability and feeling of lightness is a part of it all ..and how can a large car be as maneuverable as a small one, everything else being equal? There is also something I just cant express but the small intimate feeling of a two seater appeals to me..something about back seats that reminds me of a sedan..
PS I did not know Ferrrai made cars with back seats..Guess I will have to get one for the wife and kids..

If I had to take the manueverability challenge. I'm pretty sure a ferrari FF can handle the job.

There were 2+2 Ferrari's since the beginning. Reading these posts. I ask myself what's this world coming to???

it doesn't take being a 1%'er to know this. All it takes is being a true car enthusiast.

Well that certainly puts me in my place! Well it makes not sense to me to have rear seats without a rear door..that is just a big inconvenience,.,.so now we have a sports car with rear seats and four doors?? Guess I am just an old geezer out of touch with the world

By the way ever hear of a race horse with saddles in the front and rear?

You never heard of the Ferrari 330gt, 365GT, ferrari Mondial, 612 scagglieti just to name a few??? Next year should produce another GT. So yeah.. go pick one up for the family. Just learn ferrari heritage through reading before you go to the dealership talking stuff you don't know and make a fool of yourself?...

Aaaaaaaannnnnywayyyy...

Just because a car is inherintely small doesn't make it instantly more maneuverable than a larger sports car if that larger car was designed to perform the duty with intricate detail to the cars overall design.... Or having back seats for that matter. My opinion as as yours that you had to mention twice already about 2 seats feeling cozy. BUT THOUGH I AGREE... it is purely SUBJECTIVE and doesn't make any case on a sports car capability.
