This all really just exemplifies our tendency to justify our lot in life....
One might say, "I wear a $90 watch because it tells good time. Anyone who pays $1000 for a watch is just getting ripped off." Meanwhile there are people with $100,000 watches on their wrist right now.
Anyone driving faster than you on the highway is a moron. Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot.
We all spend "just the right amount" on whatever we happen to have. A house more expensive than mine is excessive but I can't see how people can get through life in anything smaller.
It's all wrong.

Here we have another of your failures which proves you don't possess the ability to comprehend simple statements. I never said a Gallardo wasn't a supercar (look up post #284), I said middle class people cannot afford current generation supercars. Your brain dead idea to prove me wrong was by showing a link to a wrecked, salvage titled Gallardo, lol. Do you really have that much difficulty understanding the written language? I would just stop now if I were you. Unfortunately, you will probably keep making uninformed and inaccurate comments. At least your feeble attempts are entertaining.

BTW, there was only ever ONE generation of Gallardo. The engine only changed once when it went from a 5.0 V10 to a 5.2 V10 in 2008. But it was still the same body style just body/paint/aero/title tweaks, with the occasional bump in HP from tuning. They never had different "generations" of them. And by YOUR definition a Gallardo IS a supercar (based on your edited post #284)...
Where you lose me is when you say things like
Bottom line is, the middle class CAN afford supercars because there are plenty of affordable examples are out there. Which for reasons unknown upsets you greatly.

Insecurity would also would be identified as spending "too much on a car". Maybe to compensate for lacking in other areas! Important note!
I also believe Warp already posted the definition of a supercar and many are still trying to promote there own definition.
To glorify cars they don't even own to other forum members who have always owned own Corvette's. Total waste of time!
I buy the Z06 because I like the car and nothing stacks up to compare!
I can own two just ordering another 7k in AFTERMARKET PARTS
for my A8 Z06. Landing it In a league where not many can beat it!
Using the numbers from Tune time running the same exact mods.

Pretty sure I've passed AI Lit. But thanks for trying to insult me. Perhaps if you could write a statement that isn't completely ****** vague and then blame others when they can't follow your delusional way of thinking, we may get somewhere. Until then...I guess listening to your pathetic attempts at insults and ridiculous contradictory statements will have to do.
BTW, there was only ever ONE generation of Gallardo. The engine only changed once when it went from a 5.0 V10 to a 5.2 V10 in 2008.

And by YOUR definition a Gallardo IS a supercar (based on your edited post #284)...
Where you lose me is when you say things like Why is that a poor example? Because it wasn't purchased brand new with cash? Can it not be fixed? What's wrong with a salvage title car? You can still put plates and insurance on it. Or how about one that has a clean title, but just a minor accident reported like here:https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=199123059 Nothing wrong with that car at all. Except it's not "new." Therefore is it NOT a supercar anymore?

Insecurity is when you spend an huge amount of time to defend the Z06 as NOT being a supercar in a Z06 forum! Insecurity would also would be identified as spending "too much on a car". Maybe to compensate for lacking in other areas!

You might need to dissect the definition of insecurity because this post screams it lol.
Talking about what the Z06 is or isn't on a Z06 forum has little to nothing to do with what is fact and what's not. You seem to run around this time and time again, but then again i see you take my bait almost each time so here we are again lol.
No one is glorifying anything, insecurity in this case is grouping a car into a class that certainly doesn't belong there. The fact everyone dismisses what's really true and what isn't, just because someone is actually stating facts from a NON BIASED point of view, actually shows.......what's that? Insecurity LOL. Let me dumb this down for you since you don't understand. Ever tell a person who is a addicted to something, "hey you have an addiction". The first response is, "no i'm not". That's denial LOL
All that other jibberish you said, again irrelevant, which also shows insecurity. So you can take "7k worth of parts" and beat on supercars. But what does that prove?? I can take a 7k car itself that was modified and beat a supercar. That just makes it a 7k POS that beat a supercar. Does that make it a supercar?
You also fail to realize that even if it takes only 1k worth of parts to beat a supercar means it just took 1k worth of parts to beat a supercar.
Like what was said, Z has the looks and the "supercar performance".
It just isn't a supercar
Broken record anyone?? The many posts, yet we come to the same conclusion

I do agree that the Gallardo is a supercar (even though the one you linked has a salvaged title and is torn up LOL) but, again, we are not discussing old supercars because it doesn't scale with current cars. Every generation of cars gets better, including the supercars, until newer sports cars are just as good as old out-dated supercars. If you cannot grasp that simple concept then I don't know what to tell you.
So I ask again. How does an OLD supercar become NO LONGER a supercar? Especially when you can wax the newer cars *** with a little bit of expense. Us po' middle class folk must not be able to understand the value of a dollar. But the ultra rich obviously do...because they're willing to throw away TONS of money on under performing "supercars."

Careful with these guys man...they can't handle that a ZO6 is in EVERY WAY a supercar. They're just pissed that they spent 4-5 times as much for something that can't hang. But at least it looks good losing. 
But wait...the Corvette looks good, AND wins, AND costs a fraction of what they paid for their "supercars."

Well since we're doing it that way.
Looks like our precious "supercar" just got dismantled by a japanese SUPERCAR, don't look at only one track, show all the goods!!
But wait, THERE'S MORE!!!
American on american crime. Yet the Z06 still can't do the time
The Z06 is an amazing car. "supercar LIKE" looks, "supercar LIKE" performance.
It just isn't a supercar

No, THIS is exactly what you said. First of all, what makes YOU an expert in performance scale? How can a modded older car "not scale" with a newer car? There are literally THOUSANDS of examples of how this statement is incorrect. Secondly, you COMPLETELY CONTRADICT your statement by saying this: (as I highlighted) until the "newer cars are just as good as the out-dated supercars."
So I ask again. How does an OLD supercar become NO LONGER a supercar? Especially when you can wax the newer cars *** with a little bit of expense. Us po' middle class folk must not be able to understand the value of a dollar. But the ultra rich obviously do...because they're willing to throw away TONS of money on under performing "supercars."

Lets put it this way and make sure you read it 2 or 3 times so you hopefully understand it. The supercar bar is a constantly moving target and improves year after year as new supercars are released. Modified cars never count because you can modify any car to be fast, stock vs stock is the only logical comparison. Once a supercar always a supercar. However, when determining if a car is a supercar you must compare it to the current generation of supercars, not cars that are 10-15 years old. The reason for this is every car gets better with every new generation. For example, the Ford Focus RS has performance numbers that match or beat a Lamborghini Countach but it is obvious that the Focus is not a supercar because it does not come close to current generation supercars. This is why your examples of 10-15 year old cars are irrelevant.
