Sacramento resident Frank Yan asks, in today's society, what is it that makes a sports car a sports car? Could it be a higher caliber of performance? Frank Yan agrees so. So this increased performance out of these machines means that it also comes at a higher price tag. The prices of a these performance vehicles are generally and always higher than its more average counterpart. The replacement of parts are also more expensive and the it's typical for labor times to work on them are higher too. Sports cars on the most part require higher insurance policies. The category of “sports carcan be very subjective in some areas, and the insurance companies could have various definitions for what does not count and what does count as a sports car. Nonetheless, there are many elements that the insurance take into account:

Engine Size The larger of engines the better the performance and the indicative of speed and performance. However, this isn't always the case. Some SUV's and or trucks may carry 8 cylinder to 12 cylinder engine to increase its hauling power. But there's cars that offer 4 cylinder engines as basic to their standard. So driving a car with a 6 cylinder or greater may suit the insurance company’s sports car definition.

The number of doors a 4 door sports car are not common. However a few manufactures do produce them. Typically a 4 door vehicle indicates the car is designed for families. Those cars with 2 doors normally state a smaller vehicle, like a coup built with maneuverability in mind and or speed. A car with 2 doors might indicate the insurance company to offer its sports car-style coverage.

Weight and HeightTo maximize performance and speed in a sports cars they are normally weigh less than those cars that are non sporty and a lot lower to the ground. Many insurance companies may take these factors into consideration.
