To me, I just don't care about the definitions of a sports car and what it is, probably because I have it all wrong anyway.

Everything that is defined as a "pure sports car" is what I consider a roadster instead (convertible, two seater, etc). I would never do anything involving "sport" in a roadster.

A sports car has to have a roof because I don't want to race a convertible (well, unless its an F1/Indy car).

I consider the Twins/Z's/most supercars, sports cars, basically road capable cars that can be run on a road course type race track. Roadsters can too, but not by me.

It's sort of like when someone says the Saturn V/Apollo rocket flew to the moon. No, its a rocket it doesn't "fly". Given enough thrust a brick can move through the atmosphere but that doesn't make it aerodynamic.

Flying means you have some level of control left behind when there is not power, and some chance of landing safely. Airplanes/helicopters/gliders/even the space shuttle "fly" when relieved of power. Rockets become bricks, hence they don't fly.
