Again...from my experience...a camaro is not a "sports car". A mustang is not a "sports car"
They belong more in the "muscle car" group.
Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc. are "super cars".
Real "sports cars" were Triumphs, E series Jags, MG's, early Porsche, Austin Healy's etc.
A sports car has TWO seats. It's light and nimble. No power steering. No top. Usually drum brakes
And most of them (except for those monster 12 cylinder Jags) had small 4 cylinder engines and weighed next to nothing. They were raced in road rally's all over Europe.
A sports car wasn't known for having a big engine. It was known for handling and cornering and sitting low to the ground (a few inches). Sports cars didn't have much "luxury"...no AC, no power-anything.
And if you ever drive an old sports car...you will instantly know why they are the funnest cars in the world to drive. You are completely connected to the road. And when you take an MG up to 100 mph...you are scared shitless! It's thrilling to say the least. lol
