That said, you write at length at the beginning about the problem of modern sports cars--that they're too comfortable and don't capture the true Ultimate Driving experience, yet you later talk about the everyday drivability of the engine AND include that you kept the radio, HVAC, and carpets to preserve some of the creature comforts.
So which is it?

The term "Sports Car" is a very vague phrase and can be interpreted in many ways. Though we may challenge some people's notions of what a sports car should be, we look at a sports car as a car explicitly built to be fun to drive above all else. We feel, and feel free to disagree, that we can retain small things such as A/C and a radio to enhance the overall driving experience while doing things like discarding the rear seats and replacing the fronts with lighter, but still comfortable Recaro seats, as well as stiffening up all the suspension components among other things, we sacrifice things that don't enhance the overall driving experience and retain or add things that do, in order to create what we consider to be a true "sports car" that can still be driven and enjoyed every day.
