Do you consider the camaro to be a "sports car"?
Like the title says do you consider the the camaro to be a pure "sports car". I have recently concluded after talking to several other people that if you ask 10 people what their definition of a sports car, muscle car, or pony car is you will get varying definitions. Some will give you rigid distinctions between the 3 categories and some will just say they are splitting hairs. Personally I don't consider the camaro to be a sports car, if I think GM sports car I think corvette. What do you guys think? All opinions are welcome, this should be interesting.

Wasn't this debated last week?
It's a sports car in my opinion, or maybe a pony car. Not a muscle car.

Yea a thread about is it an American Muscle Car? And then it just turned in to a huge debate about V6 vs. V8.

It's both a muscle car and a sports car. How? Just like all Labs are dogs, but not all dogs are Labs... Not all sports cars are muscle cars, but all muscle cars are sports cars... Did that make any sense at all???

Its hard to call a car with a minimum 3,700 pound curb weight a sports car.

It's a Camaro, which makes it the best car on the streets.
