>From my understanding, and how i see it:

2 door, 2 seater, rwd, insanely fun, and not over 3000lbs. 

Yes, i know, i eliminated some very kick heinie sports cars. But, when I think 
of sports car, i envision the Miata, the Rx-7, S2000, fiero (why not?), the 
older z's (if only the z32 weighed less than 3000lbs), etc.

<< Some of the recent posts, along w/some off list discussion has sent me 
searching for the definition of a *Sports Car*.

Here's what Websters II had to say: "A car equipped for racing, esp. an 
aerodynamically shaped one- or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of 
gravity, and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high 
speeds on curving roads."

Hmmm, sounds more like a Race Car to me, except for the last word. Maybe the 
SCCA should Define the term *Sports Car* in a way they feel best suits the 
club(then send it on to Websters)and publish it in the rulebooks?
