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.

So I guess any car from BMW M series isn't a sports car, then. Neither is MB AMG series, or the Audi RS series. Oh, Zupr4 also doesn't count as a sports car. 370Z doesn't count.
I have never heard anyone banning platform sharing from sports cars. In fact, platform sharing is the norm, not the exception nowadays.
