Sports Cars do not have to go fast. Fast cars are not necessarily Sports
Cars.

the MG Midget, MG B, Austin Healey Sprite, Early Jaguars (120/150s), Porsche
356, Mazda Miata, etc are all examples of sports cars that are not fast.
Many people confuse "Touring Sedans" or fast cars as sports cars.

Sports Cars are made for the sole purpose of driving. They are not designed
for storing luggage, towing capacity, a good sound system, Air Conditioning
or great heat, quiet and smooth ride, or any other similar deeds. In many
cases even the basic "needs" of the driver are neglected, since good heat,
weathertightness, wind noise, etc are all of a secondary importance to the
driving experience. This is one difference between drivers and
steering-wheel-holders. You should not expect to drive a Sports Car 12 hours
(or even 5 hours for that matter) somewhere and arrive "fresh". They are
wonderful for short jaunts though (invigorating).
