I participated in an auto focus group that compared the 370Z, BRZ, Cayman, and etc.

There's a lot of 911 owners who would disagree with that statement.

The 911 only has two seats that fit an actual adult human

True, but the back seat in any 2+2 is pretty brutal for a normal sized adult. I just wouldn't go so far as to say that any vehicle with more than two seats is automatically not a sports car.

The entire reason for this confusion over sports car definition is that we older folks grew up with a dictionary definition, not a marketing definition.

1992 American Heritage Dictionary: Sports car: An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one or two passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds.


Additionally, Men and women were defined by their reproductive organs at birth, not by mutilated genitalia later in life. Ask Mr. Garrison

I am not confused as to what a man, woman or car is.
