So basically the mustang is a platform car meaning after you buy it you make it what you want whether it be a drag car, track car, or just a good looking cruiser. The Z from the factory is a sports car with the track in mind

Well I would consider the Z to be a full fledged sports car. 2 seats good amount of HP, great suspension. Designed with speed and handling in mind. Are there faster sports cars out there? Yes! At any rate the Z is a sports car and just because
the Mustang has a back seat doesn't exclude it from being a sports car GT-R has back seats Spec-V GT-R doesn't both are sports cars Porsche 911 GT has backseats and is a sports car. The backseats aren't roomy like in a sedan but there backseats nonetheless and in a sports car. I think when Ford makes a new edition to the Mustang they don't say lets make a great cruiser they are making a muscle car/sports car that has back seats priced around $30k which is what they accomplish.
