But in every...and i do mean EVERY performance catagory (slalom, braking, 1/4, roadcourse, and top speed) they either meet or exceed the s2000 specs (more exceeding than meeting
). And just to add...completely destroys the miata. So to say which is more of a sports car?...I'd tip my hat to the sti/evo and say that they are more of a sports car than the s2000, despite how they *feel* because put into any performance test (which is kinda the defintion of a sport)...the sti/evo would win.
but of course thats just my opinion.

To me, the STi and Evo are more like appliances that do the job for you rather than tools that help you do the job yourself.

. Sorry, that type of thinking would make the defintion of a sports car purely based on opinion, or in this case, how a car *feels* to the driver. You are including variable bias as a premise to your arguement, by defining an object, subjectively. To me, the STi/Evo are better tools that allow the driver to utilize advancing technology in cooperation with the drivers skills...to push the performance envolope of the sports benchmark.

I don't know what I'd classify Jay's car as, but it still doesn't fall under the definition of "sports car" given earlier.
I'd still suck his penis for a ride.
But not really.
