Actually...a REAL sports car isn't even a corvette.
A REAL sports car has NO air conditioning and NO power steering (rack and pinion only).
They are stripped down and never have a top (always convertible). Purists won't even allow for crank up windows (you are allowed to have zip-on or snap on clear plastic window covers for inclement weather with your rag top).
But the term sports car has evolved. I'm talking purely from a "purists" point of view.
I owned a lot of mustangs in the 1970's, a couple of corvettes more recently, and a prowler.
I don't consider ANY of those to be sportscars though.
I do consider the 2 MG's that I owned to be 100% sports cars by definition.
