In the popular X-Box game, "Project Gotham Racing 2" (which was released while the C5Z was in production), there are over 100 cars from all over the world to choose from, broken down into 14 categories such as "Coupe", "Grand Touring", "Sports Coupe" and "American Muscle". What category does the C5Z fall under?

Supercar.

So now it's official...

Another key point is when you can buy a vehicle around 50K with "pushrod technology", that can humiliate performance cars that costs more than 3 times the price in most cases, it qualifies IMO as a SUPERCAR. Another thing , name another car in a higher price range than a ZO6 that you can spend btwn 2K-3K in mods,get another 25-30 hp and put the ZO6 in exoticar territory? $3000 wouldnt even pay for aftermarket parts for a Porsche, BMW M5, Ferrari ,or anything else over 100K. And Im not even factoring labor costs!! Not even close my ***.
Actually for less than $3k one could put a 996 TT at ~500 hp. Of course the car itself will cost more to begin with but not much more.

Back to School- If it's not RUSH it's not Rock. If it's not a C5Z06 it's not a Super Car !!
