Understood. I would argue that a car that handles reasonably well for its price and era, and isn't good for much beyond moving two people around at brisk speeds, is arguably a "sports car." Performance has to be placed a little ahead of comfort, and way ahead of any sort of practicality. A GT car differs in that it sacrifices some of that performance (more handling than power of course, a true GT is plenty fast) for a lot of comfort. A GT is something you want to be in for cutting a 9 hour trip to 6 hours. A sports car is for 2 hours of going nowhere at 60-80 mph.
