Message Performance as far as speed, handling, braking, acceleration, etc. The combination of all these. Thats not to say that a car can't be made to do well on a road course. Hell, the first auto-x I went to, 3 of us TT guys had our asses handed to us by a guy in a LINCOLN TOWN CAR! Does that make it a sports car? No. It was being driven by a damn good driver.

I was just trying to say that I don't consider any FWD car a sports car. Call me hard headed, thats the way I am. I wasn't trying to say that a Type R can't handle because I know it can. But no matter how well it does on the road course, it's just not a sports car to me.

And I know we could argue this until the cows come home, so lets leave it at the fact that we have our own opinions :)
