I'm failing to see the distinction. The base sport Z is 3200 lb, 2 seat, rwd 300+ HP car that has very few frills to detract away from power and driving experience (no nav, no heavy power sapping leather power seats). It comes with stock wheels that are as light or lighter than most aftermarket wheels of the same size and a stiff suspension. It's loud, it's bumpy, it's a very similar driving experience to a Porsche. I agree on the Elise and Miata's but their claim to fame is a lack of practicality that makes a Z look like a 5 door hybrid.

By this reasoning, would you then say that a Porsche c2S with leather seats, traction control, and sat/nav is not a "pure sports car"?
