I will say though, having driven many Supras in many sporting events, it does fantastic on road courses, drag racing, and yes, even autocross.

If that's not a sports car, I'm not sure what is. Regardless though, we're all just being pedantic at this point. It doesn't matter what it's classified as, it just has to be good!
Thinking back I am pretty sure I have never even SEEN a Supra much less drove one.


Many sports cars are not used for sports and many cars used for sports are not sports cars.
It is an unwinnable debate as to what constitutes a "sports car" that has raged on for about 80 years. Especially when technology changes so fast and what was a "sports car" once is left out a few years later because the baseline criteria changed.
