Nope, it's a 3-seater. One seat in the middle, slightly forward, one seat to either side slightly back.

 

As long as it's relevant (even remotely) to the discussion, I swear to mention the all mighty McLaren F1 everywhere!!!

 

Keep it up and I'll start replacing every instance of "McLaren F1" with "Yugo"

Now, where's the clarification from drunk7daysaweek?

 

the miata breaks any defination of a sports car that uses horsepower as a measurement. those things don't have fast motors, but they're light and nimble, which is the defination I'd go for a sports car, which goes hand in hand w/ having 2 doors. I'd say the ITR, CTR are sports cars. I just don't see the Sentra Spec V however.

i think horsepower (and thus price) comes into play when you talk about an exotic.

 

TO ME, and i emphasize on "me"; a sports car should pump you up with adrenaline everytime you take the car to its limits (or atleast try). the car's handeling abilities and its shear power should scare your pants off. or if you happen to be a race car driver, keep you excited (on your heal/toes). it should be a battle between the driver and the car. the cars power wanting to go out of control and you, the driver, trying to tame it. the more you push the more it demands.

trust me, when i was 16 and i got my 180 hp fwd celica gts, i thought i was a proud owner of a sports car. boy was i wrong...

after riding shotgun (many times) in a 600+ hp supra with full suspension upgrades, sticky tires, and stripped interior, i started to realize that my measly 180 hp vehicle was not a sports car. i was still in denial, however.

after driving my dad's friend's 911 turbo for about 2 1/2 hours, it made me realize that my celica was not a sports car.

now, i know and i accept the fact that my car or any other car in my car's segment is not a sports car. sure, somebody could swap out my 2zz and dump a 2jz, strip the interior, upgrade the tires, and upgrade all the suspension components to some high end racing suspensions and i will probably shit my pants off, but i was talking about stock form.

i'm not trying to convert anybody here and i'm not trying to say that i'm right and your wrong.

 

i'm sure that supra definitely wasn't in "stock" form.

 

the mazda 6 speed miata pumps me the fuck up w/ adrenailine

 

Thats a fair response. You just have much higher standards than some to designate a car a "sports car." Since the definition is not determined, it can't really be argued. I'd call the cars your talking about supercars or exotics (not the supra, cause thats modded), but they are not the only sports cars around to me.

In your opinion, are ther any FWD sports cars then?

 

This thread is going nowhere fast. I love how drunk7daysaweek has posted twice since his original post and we're still no closer to understanding what he asked.

 

but its kinda fun to

 

This is what happens when you are all the time...

 

 

and it gave me a chance to sneak in my *cough* *cough* "Yugo F1"

oh, it also let me add to my post counts... am I the only one who's obsessed with pushing up the count and especially the daily average number?

 

Oh nos. Don't mention that. We don't want the mods to think this is a "pee dubya" thread.

 

Am I gonna have to start deleting posts?

 

Err...Um...so I think drunk7daysaweek really meant "pull" as in the front wheels pull the rest of the car around the turn.

 

In that case, don't all FWD "pull" the car when it's going forward - whether straight line or in turn, since the driving wheel is in front of the longitudinal centre of gravity?

 

yes, i consider spoon's rsx to be a sports car.

 

Id consiter this a sports car

 

Yeah, but it's way too :ghey: IMO

 

But why would it be :ghey: when the most shack-a-delic Austin Powers' dad also drives one

 

Mini Convertible Id agree w/...but the John Cooper Works Mini is an insane car:
Personally I wouldnt doubt that guys mascilinity...

I especailly like the MC40 Special Edition, go the chance to testdrive one, and it was honestly alot of fun
