The definition has gone from "Any production car that, with minimal modification, can be used competitively in motorsports"


To "certain production cars that are a purpose designed chassis that it does not share with any other vehicle and is used competitively in motor sports but not drag racing since it isn't a real motorsport"


This pretty much narrows things down to what I consider to be sports cars.




For the record I do not now nor have I ever thought an R/T was a sports car. It is just a very good case sample of how the 54 year old definition from the book is meaningless by today's standards and accepted definitions.
Oh, and drag racing is a motorsport the same as any type of racing is. To claim it is not is just plan wrong.
