maybe if you weren't driving all the above mentioned cars 5mph at your awesome valet/lot porter job and the solo M3 you owned wasn't a busted ass e36 you would have a different opinion on the matter.

I have a question. With everything said Is a Mustang gt, cobra, rouche sp?? etc.. etcc considered a sports car even though it has luxary options and can also sit 4 comfortable???? What about a camaro??? that can sit four people too. My first RX-7 i purchased 10 years ago was a automatic 2+2 model. It wasn't considered a sports car. Insurance catigorized it as a sports coupe. Not sports car. As with my other 3 RX-7's that were strictly 2 seater RWD. insurance placed it under sports coupe. In 1991 I think the gtu model and gxl model rx-7's were merged and were called sports coupe from mazda. Same with my 2001 mercury cougar. I bought the ZN model. it was a 2dr coupe. FWD and it was labeled a sports coupe. Is a Ford Probe a sports car??
(8:37am) EDIT: Sorry Audi R8 Spyder does not sit 4. I thought it did. I just looked it up.

Mazda rx-8??? sits four.
Maseradi grancabrio?? sits four
Ford mustang?? sits four
Chevy camaro?? sits four
or how about a mustang base model v6 or a 4cyl turbo svo??

Are they just basically known as Pony cars ?
Edit: Found this online a few seconds ago.
Pony car is an American class of automobile launched and inspired by the Ford Mustang in 1964.[1] The term describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image. "It was small by Detroit standards, with sporty styling... [a]nd the rear wheels were driven by an engine — ideally a big V8 — mounted up front..."[2] Pony cars were "relatively small, relatively light and often absurdly powerful."[3]
