There is no one definition of a "sports car". They all have firm rides, but some are much firmer than others. Take a blindfolded ride in a lowered BRZ with coilovers and then a new 2018 auto at standard height. You won't think they are the same car. The same is true for "floaty mattress rides". Ride in a large BMW and then a Buick and you'll see the difference there. There is no reason you can't have decent ride quality in a sports car. For me, when I start getting jolts over expansion joints, the car is too firm and lacks any good ride quality. When tracking a car, I don't really care about ride quality -- but that is a completely different purpose.
