4 door cars don't count as a Sports Car, do they?

GT my friend. That 4 door rule doesn't apply and is a old unwritten rule. It's all about the 3 "S's" shekels, style and speed.

Well, my 1977 Toyota Celica was a GT, does that count?
As far as the shekels, style and speed - At a cost of $112,200 base, to steal the portholes of a late 40's Buick (below), you'd think they could do better at 0-60 than a $26k Ford Mustang but not so at 5.1 sec. 0-60 Times & 0-60 Comparisons
Sports car? Well, maybe not....

Obviously your are an extremist while making a point or a comparison. I will leave it at that. But my BMW lovers and owners will like to dispute their 4 door 745 or 4 door 750 doesn't fall into the sports car sedan class.
Again the 2dr mentality is a old "street rod" thought and times are different. The more doors the more fun and the more passengers the more gas money!!

Yeah, the McLaren was spectacular.
And it brings to mind the car that beat it as certainly one of the most beautiful sports cars:
The Saleen S7
It's pretty, and there's a guy down in my neck o' the woods that regularly takes his out. Sounds reeeeeeally beautiful when he opens it up.
Your pal,
Meat.
P.S. If you do like the McLaren ... you might want to check out DDR Motorsports |
