If 200mph is your metric then the Z06 is not a supercar. The Z06 top speed from GM is 195 for stage 1 aero and 186 for stage 3. Thanks for proving my point.

P.S. Don't comment about Youtube videos showing z06s over 200mph unless you can prove they are unmodded, they are on level ground, there is no tail wind, and it is verified in 2 directions.

Interesting how YOU want to set the parameters, and then demand proof. This isn't a convo where you get to do that. I don't play that bullshit game.

There are a number of instances of running over 200MPH. You have a beef with those numbers, take it up with them.

Mcrider, didn't you say the Camaro is a supercar a few posts back? You need to move out here to CO....whatever you're smoking is legal here.

Sub Driver

I didn't set the parameter, you said if it does 200 mph it is a supercar. According to the people that make the car (a reliable and knowledgeable source), it falls short of that and so by your own definition, it is not a supercar. Don't you think that GM would say the top speed was 200 mph if that was in fact its top speed especially since the C6 Z06's top speed was 198 mph? Again, thanks for proving my point.

Aluminum frame, carbon fiber torque tube, aluminum control arms suspension assembly, balsa floor aka true thinking of weight savings, pulls 1.1+g, CCBs, 205mph, 0-60 in 3.1, carbon hood/roof, brake, trans, engine, rear diff cooling and aero to support, variable steering, magnetic ride suspension that Ferarri just happened to license from GM, 285/335 tires, track focused look (vs camaro/challenger/etc). My reasons this is a supercar. Cars were classed supercars (Ferraris, Lambos) as older models with FAR less tech and performance. Take it for what you believe who gives a **** what someone else says...

Your spinning around so fast in this thread you are dizzy, This would be game, set, and match...or checkmate if you like....either way you still LOSE.


Maybe if you did some simple research before you posted you wouldn't look sooooooo foolish,

The end of this entire discussion isn't anything about the car itself, it's that it's American made and these fools think a real supercar has to come with a foreign accent...

Jumping in late.

And nowhere on the list was the C6 ZO6 (or the C5Z for that matter). A C6Z out performs several of the vehicles listed on both the lists "above" it. Remember when Top Gear tested it? Stock, the C6Z was faster than Koenigsegg, Zonda, Lambo, Ferrari, etc. around their track. And there have been a few examples of stock C6Z's running well into the 10's in the 1/4 which most of the hypercars are just barely dipping in to (case specific obviously).

So if the brand/model name is the measuring stick, then the C6Z crosses into (dare I say) hypercar territory....

Mcrider

Now you went and did it...if they were having hissy fits before,

you just pushed them into seizures of Tourettes Syndrome with that one.

You're bench racing?

Best sports car AMERICAN MADE! With I keep saying a HUGE aftermarket. Plus a car I CAN WORK ON! Right now my M7 with 673
rwhp and less than 3450 full of fuel.

Quite sure it pulls most super cars less 2 or 3 Yep a SUPERCAR in my book! You can stick a ton money in your Lambo or whatever
FOREIGN CAR.
that has no support you need a part. Your screwed or warranty work or any other problem your much more expensive super car you paid a lot more for with little to no aftermarket.

Now it is clear to me why you do not get this, comprehension is just not your thing. In regards to the links you posted I guess you do not know what "Est" means. It means "estimate" or, in other words, best guess or rough calculation. As for the Youtube video, you can clearly see that PDR is not from a car actually moving on the road, lol. This is definitely not helping your case.


I am not sure what game you think you are playing or "winning" at but that display of ignorance was just great. Keep up the good work!

Pb82 Ronin

Dude...really? You can buy exotics and "supercars" for around $60K (and some for much less) all day long now-a-days. I'm middle class and I can afford $60K easily. What do you consider "middle class" and what do you consider a "supercar?" I guarantee I can find examples that "middle-class" could afford.

Your statement is absurd.

Mcrider

You have the right to suffer from low self esteem and foreign car worship....I don't,

To each their own....enjoy...

redzone

Awesome, I'll let my brother know his Hellcat Charger is a "Supercar".

Panth3r

I'm a working class guy that saved for years to buy my Z so yes My Z is a supercar to me don't care what anybody else thinks

Sub Driver

You absolutely cannot buy current generation supercars for 60k, are you kidding? Nobody is talking about 15 year old high mileage Lamborghinis, we are talking about current crop of supercars of which middle class people cannot afford.

Warp Factor

LOL, you have "supercars" confused with,
"I might not have much else going for me, but f**k me because I'm rich" cars.

Pb82 Ronin

Ohhhh...I see. By your logic, only the MEGA RICH who have enough money to buy a BRAND NEW Bugatti every year own ACTUAL supercars. The dudes that own 10+ year old Lambo's, McLarens, etc. (but bought them new) and only drive them a couple hundred miles a year, their cars are not super cars because they're no longer worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I see. That all makes sense now.

Here's an R8 with only 28K miles on it...https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/36670702 (But not a supercar right?)
How about an Aston DB9 with UNDER 10K miles? https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/40263757 (Still not a supercar though right?)
How about a Gallardo with 22K miles? https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/20019291 (This was NEVER a supercar right? It certainly isn't now because its used right?)
But what about when I buy that 06 Gallardo USED and bring it to UGR and upgrade it like this: http://www.undergroundracing.com/car...a-edition.html and SMASH EVERY MODERN HYPERCAR I come across? Still not a supercar though huh?

Your opinionated group is very small.

But at least you have us to shed some reality onto you. Try it. It's better on this side

When i get a real supercar i'll be sure to tell you. But unfortunately i don't have one yet
