2,700 pounds and a 94.5 inch wheelbase don't exactly qualify as "sheer size and weight."

The 928 is a GT, the 944 is definitely not. Anyone who has taken an extended cross-country trip in a 944 can tell you that it's not a GT car. The suspension is too harsh and the level of luxury too low.

If you want to hang onto the contention that a sportscar cannot have more than two seats and must have a leaky convertible top and resultant limp-spaghetti chassis, that's fine. But that definition hasn't been current since Kennedy was president.
