when I hear "sports car", I think of very light, handling, small engine cars such as: Rx-7, Miata, S2000, etc. etc.

Well the Corvette is a two seater, relatively light, good power, decent handling and sexy looks. Yep it sounds like a sports car to me

yeah its definately a sports car though if defined by RWD, two seats, handling, acceleration, braking

often performance modified cars, sport compacts/sedans, muscle cars, etc are not considered Sports Cars, but share some traits.

A guy at my work called my car a sports car one day when he was talking about insurance... it's pretty subjective.

Yes, Corvettes are true sports cars. As stated above, two seats, handling, etc.

Our Camaros and Firebirds are actually Sports Coupes, as they have 4 seats.

Agreed. Muscle cars typically were (and still are) 4 passenger cars (except for the AMX).

Corvette has always been referred to as a Sports Car (because it's a 2-seater) even though it has come with some ground-pounding motors during the peak of the muscle car era.

Now the Bureau of Motor Vehicles here in Indiana refers to my 'bird as a Sports Car as does the Insurance Company.

My insurance company (Nationwide) lists the F-bodies as sports cars & the Vette as a touring car.

Maybe because the F-bodies are driven more sportily...ie, accidents.

I have heard this same description for Vetts and F body's when It comes to Insurance.

BLKWS.6

F-body's = Pony cars
Vette's = Sports cars
SRT8 Magnum/Charger= Muscle car
BMW M5= Touring car

WTF is a "traveling car"?

BLKWS.6

I bet your friend's ride would be lucky to put 200hp to the TIRE! Thats right, TIRE! Because I bet it has an open diff too. He sounds like an uninformed hater to me.

Tell your friend to tighten those screws hes got in his head


Camaros/TAs are and forever will be a SPORTS CAR!

A Vette has always been a true SPORTS CAR!

Why is this even being qeustioned?

Isn't every car a traveling car? I mean, unless it's busted and just sitting in your driveway?

BLKWS.6

Only according to insurance. The F-body platform is a Pony car: 4 seater, 2-door, light weight (compared to muscle), small displacement V8 RWD.

Thats what WE as car guys define the cars, but on paper there nothing more than sedans,and sports cars, or touring cars etc if you want to get tech about it..
