Like, what makes an Ecoboost Mustang more sports car than a V6 Camaro RS if we are talking about the non-performance versions of them?

The definition of sports car too loosey goosey. By definition, a Miata is not a sports car because it can't go fast nor can it get up to speed quickly.

What is clear is a Pony car = big motor in existing platform which the current Mustang is not. It's on a dedicated purpose built platform like the Corvette and Ford GT. If it's not a pony car then it goes in the loosey goosey category of sports car even if the 4banger isn't very fast/quick. The Camaro clearly fits in the Pony category and the 4banger... is just a car.

Can the Camaro go like and handle like a sports car? Yes, many cars do. Is it a sports car? No.
