"Sporty" is a word used to describe a normal car that has small details sometimes associated with a sports car. A civic with a spoiler is "sporty". A cavalier with the z51 package or whatever is "sporty". A corolla with aluminum dash trim is "sporty".

An M3 is not sporty. It's a sports car. Or a sports coupe. It's not a "sporty" anything. An M3 is built for performance with a special emphasis on handling, and it's extremely fast compared to most cars (and is faster than some supercars from less than a decade ago). That qualifies as a sports car. Or coupe. Or whatever noun you want to place behind "sports". In fact, I guess you could even call it a sports GT. But it's not a freaking "sporty" anything.

If it's a "sports coupe" then why do the brakes suck for track use? Why is the cooling not sufficient enough?
