Not Ranked
Ernie,
You are exactly right on the definition of "sports car" that could be debated for hours. I guess the main reason I think of the Avanti as a sports car is because it seems the overall largest thing that comes into consideration when people talk of "sports"
car is SPEED. And since the Avanti went out and set 20 something
american speed records which it held onto alot of them for a long time until the ZR1 and Viper came along, to me that puts it in the sports car catagory.(at the very least the muscle car catagory).
Also it is one of the few cars to be in the smithsonian I believe under the catagory of art.(not sure about the art thing but I know there is one in the smithsonian)
have a good one,
Dan
