You just counterargued yourself here.
My $.02.
F80/2 is top class in terms of chassis rigidity, durability (e.g. cooling perf), weight, and trans (DCT only) --> amongst its competitors.
RS4 is an awd pig. Albeit a nice one.
C63S is also a 2-ton+ porker with a not so great transmission.
Alfa GG also heavier with a not so great trans.
Once you get into fix-figs (i.e. any gen GT3), you know instantaneously the moment you grip the wheel that you are sitting a vehicle worlds apart from the overachieving commuter sedan based M.
IMHO, anything that exceeds ~3,200lbs is really tough to call a sports car. |
Not really! Performance sedan/coupe or sports car is all the same. The only point that I was making is that the ///M is still a sports car despite people mandating the number of doors or adding a convertible top to qualify it. A sports/sporty car is a wide and vast category of car. There really isn't a finite set of rules about what makes a sports car.
P.S. A current model GT3 RS weighs nearly 3200 lbs (... less than 50 lbs. shy). Is it not a sports car then? |
We can agree to disagree. If my m4 is a sports car then I don't want a sports car.
So 3150 is < ~3200 right? Forum people smh lmao. |
Now you're being pedantic if 50 lbs. (...
a full tank of gas) makes that much difference for your argument. So if I add some extra options to my GT3 to up it 50 lbs., is it no longer a sports car? You nullify your own argument by waxing poetic about a GT3 when even that car doesn't meet your weight criteria.
P.S. A Ferrari Itália is over 3400 lbs. A Lamborghini Huracan is over 3400 lbs. The McLaren P1 is over 3400 lbs. I could go on, but most already get the point. Your argument stands on pillars made of cigar paper.
