i'd agree on performance as a whole defining sports car.....i mean, you cant say only a stick or auto makes a sports car although traditionally most sports cars had sticks,,,,,,,,,but most those cars were 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders as well.......if your talking true sports cars like euro stuff.
for all us aod gt owners we'll just have to get goofy and say it's only a true sports car if it has leather seats.........lmao
i wonder if the vette and camaro guys have the same debates within their gm circles......oh wait, had a 79 t-a and i remeber people would get bent when it had the 403 and th 350 instead of the 400 and 4 speed......guess it never ends....
i think the real issue is not to throw the baby out with the bath water and remember that regardless of the transmission, the car is still what it is , just because it's one tranny or another doesnt make it a p.o.s, especially when most cars are relatively easily swapped from one to another, not to mention with these cars age and all all of them end up having the transmission out for one reason or another anyway, it just personal preference on what one you put back in.
