I'd let a Miata guy answer ... but no, you do not have a "sportscar."

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.Comment

Rather than go into what is or is not a sports car...the Eclipse is based on the Galant platform. I can't get the 2012 rules to come up, but you (and Zac) should be in STF with other "heavy/newish" front-wheel drive cars. STC is the home of the 89 Civic Si and other lightweight non-sportscars.
I know the registrars are not responsible for classing cars, but all our trailer folks need to at least know that "ST" no longer exists and have a 2012 rule book or classification list so that participants can determine if their former ST cars are STC or STF.Last edited by rodhx; 01-25-2012, 05:18 PM.Rod H

I think there needs to be a new definition of sportscar to a vehicle which participates in motorsports activities.
The old term of being a 2 door 2 seater is kinda out of date considering the handling and power of some of the newer cars being racedJohn W8

There are lots of really sporty cars around that don't begin to meet the true definition of the term sports car.
There are lots of sports cars out there (mine included) that don't meet the true definition of the term race car.
There are lots of race cars out there (including certain purple and yellow Volvos) that don't meet the true definition of being good candidates for racing.
With that said, an Eclipse GT may not fall into any of these categories. . . ;^)Chuck Schultz
