It is not a back and white definition by any stretch but completely accurate when applied as a more general rule.

See, I don't think "beginner" works either. I've had a VW Squareback(not really sports car, but a project car), Honda Prelude, MKI MR2, Z32, Mazdaspeed3, and a few grocery getters. I'm pushing 50 and far from a "beginner", but the 86 was exactly what I wanted. It hit the budget and the kind of fun I was looking for. If I had Porsche money, I'd have one, or a Vette, or Lotus, who knows. This was an economic decision, not experience or a matter of being a "beginner". As we've seen in a few threads on here, I'm not alone in this age group with experience with other project sports cars. Then, we've all seen spoiled kids given a Porsche or Vette, AMG or M series and such. They are 100% "beginners", but they have the cash and go straight for the "advanced" cars.
The twins are good cheap fun for beginners, or old farts that have been around the block/track a time or two. I think that is 100% what was intended from the very beginning with this car.
