I was waiting for someone to mention that one, most people don't realize 911's have back seats.

There can be a sporty car but a sports car...no. To me a sports car has to be rear wheel drive or possibly awd in the case of 911 turbos, lambos, etc...it should be a 2 seater, low center of gravity and its main focus being fast

No. Sports car is RWD. Unfortunately every punk ass 16 year old kid who guys his first econobox Honda and just HAS to soup it up ends up thinking its a sports car, and then you get the 31 people who voted yes on this poll.

I dont think teenages think that there civics are sport cars. I've NEVER heard any civic owner refer to his car as a sports car.

Now I have heard people over hype, or brag about there cars, but thats not calling it a sports car.

Seriously? There was a post on TR where a shared_user said, "And who says a civic isn't a racecar?" And I don't believe it was typed so legibly, but you get the gist of it.

Just a class.
