Just the opposite. Very secure. If I owed a 'supposed" Supercar or 2 juggling lease payments seems a lot more like insecure to me. Along with 20 posts on a Z06
forum why the Z06 is not a supercar when it and Corvette's of the past carry supercar and better performance. I suppose the ZR1 in 2009 wasn't a Supercar or the Z06 from 2006 and 2001? All whipped up on plenty of supposed other "Supercars.

No....no corvette has, or ever will be a supercar. It's a chevy, Mr. Insecurity.

Whatever you say! 
When it's really insecurity and "want to be" imagine your projecting! Probably own several stacks of MAGAZINES? Bring your supercar If you have one and I'll drag it for you with a lowly Corvette!

For what its worth, last month I went to an Austin martin dealer and drove an AM, a 911 Targa, Mclaren, Ferrari California and 17 Z06 2LZ, all were pre- owned except the AM. They were all great cars in there own way but the clear winner was the Z06 in terms of pure excitement to drive. I ordered one two days later that I anxiously await. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there was a great article from 2015 when the C7 came out comparing it to a 911 and Ferrari. The corvette took second place and was defined by Motor Trend as a complete sports car a hair behind the 911 and half the price.

Supercar riddle...please solve!
So...
What happens when a non-supercar outperforms a supercar?
1. Is the non-supercar elevated to supercar status?
2. Does the supercar lose its supercar status?

This thing has an MSRP of $17,199 brand new is a considered a "Super Bike" because of the name of the races it competes in completely stock. AMA Superbike, World Superbike, etc. Shouldnt they only have high end Ducatis, MV Augustas and Aprilia, etc in that competition if "Super Car" or "Superbike" races had a entry level price to compete in those events?

Supercars also have exclusivity and exotic qualities. Everything about supercars is "super", hence the name. Middle class people cannot afford supercars and your argument just dilutes the whole category.

Your reply shows you do not get it. A supercar is a supercar to all not some and a Z06 is not one of them. They are entirely too common and accessible. Again, supercars are out of the reach of middle class Americans.
Lastly, none of my SPORTS CARS I have owned over the years (GTR, 2 z06s, viper) have anything to do with what makes a car a supercar. Although maybe you can remind us all again how cool you are that you own 2 z06s, lol. You have some very weird need to try to demonstrate a perceived superiority (I wonder why that is) but it always fails miserably.
