QUOTE (playr158 @ Sep 9, 2008 - 10:00 AM)  ITR fails cause its FWD. also ITR isn't wise to be compared to an F1 car which still makes more torque and revs up to 20,000 RPM. sports car = RWD and FYI some 2 door sports car Porsches come with "back seats" which are little black pads in the rear for insurance reasons is there a set of rules to be a sports car? is it set in stone somewhere? you PERSONALLY may not think that the ITR is a sports car but i personally think it is as well as a few other FWD cars like i posted eariler, "sports car" is a very general term due to the fact there is so many motor sports events out there. and each type of motorsport has cars built specifically for that sport, thus making them sports cars. the ST205 wrc edition was made into a street going versions to that they could compete in rally. i think this makes the gt-four a sports car the backseat thing i also believe is a joke, but was proving a point -------------------- 2015 Subaru WRX.
