C7 Supercar?
So I was just wondering if the C7 Stingray can be considered a Supercar. Taking into account it's 460HP, 460 ft/lbs of torque, it's amazing handling and then there's the one of a kind looks.

I think the only time an american car company (the big 3) pulled off the super car game correctly was ford w/ the GT. Just my 0.02 worth :cheers: |
:iagree:

I'd love to say that for the large amount of money I've spent adding power and the massive power some of us now have (anywhere from 750-1150whp), we could consider them 'supercars', but...
Pull up to a 458 Italia, MP4-12C, Aventador, etc... and it's fairly apparent that we have a car that's in the same category with the 911, GTR, and similar. That's still an exclusive club, but not quite 'supercar' status. The Z06 won't be there, either. The ZR1 wasn't, nor will the Z06 be. At a stoplight, the aforementioned 'supercars' will be getting the attention, hands down. :thumbs: |
By the way, before I get flamed too badly for that, I would consider the C7 and C7Z to be in the 'Super Sport' class. GT500s, Z-28s, etc. should belong (again, opinion) in the 'muscle' class, while the GT350s, etc. still would be in the 'pony' group.
I failed to mention that when replying with my initial opinion. :yesnod: |
It's close enough for me...

I have friends that have high end Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins, and others and none of them tell me people are taking pictures, videos, giving thumbs up, and wanting to have picture taken with their car. This happens to me every time I take my C-7 out...so you tell me what a super car is. |

Popularity does not a supercar make, sadly. In two years, tell me if people still do the same with us, while Ford GTs, Italias, hell... F40s! Those turn heads for decades. |

Agree for the most part Ford GT yes. the others no I have friends that have them and only sports car enthusiast care...no asks to have their taken with them.
If you know of someone with an F40 or F50 and it doesn't turn heads... I really don't know what to tell you. When you live in a neighborhood with several Gallardos, a GT40 (no, not a GT), and a bevy of other actual supercars, it gives a little more perspective. Those saying the Z06 will be different... Not really sure I get that logic, but alright... Anyway, nobody is going to 'win' a rhetorical argument, so back I go to helping people instead of arguing based on opinion. I need to block myself out of General, I swear. :lol: |

The Corvette and all iterations will always be a "sports car."
The term "supercar" is used way too loosely by people today, way too much by the media....sort of like your exGF that said, "I love you" too much and it didn't mean anything anymore. "Supercar" is going the same direction. Ultracar, hypercar, etc etc are unnecessary, and IMO, stupid..... Bugattis, McLarens, Paganis, etc are supercars. Corvettes, 911s (turbo, GT3, whatever) are sports cars. Just because sports cars today have the performance of yesterday's supercars doesn't make all the categories and names change.... Should a home PC today be called a SUPERCOMPUTER because it outperforms computers from 1, 2, 5, 10 years ago??? Of course not. It's just a damn computer. |
No way.
