So forum talk is the say all end all now? I just posted several reliable trustworthy official sources including the DuPont Registry which all list the Z06 and/or ZR1 as supercars and your reply is forum posts of owners arguing over the term? That is your reply? I could post up way more sources that have these 2 cars listed as Supercars if you want.It's funny, even corvette owners argue on this very subject. What you fail to realize is, in today’s terms, performance is not the only metric of a supercar. Does it fit the performance category? Sure. Does it fit the exotic category? Hell no it doesn’t, nor does it fit the “unobtainable for the blue collar worker” category. Hell, I could go down to my local chevy dealer and instantly get a Z06 if I wanted….and I (by the American standard) am by no means a rich man.
Here you go, just one of the few of many….many discussions on the corvette forum about it. Even they can’t agree that any corvette will truly be considered a “supercar”

A poor man's Porsche? Ok. We're not talking standard Vettes son. We're talking about the Z06 and the ZR1. There is nothing poor about either of those cars. And there is nothing poor about the standard Vette either for that matter. Let's put aside your obsession with thinking that you're hurting people's feelings because you obviously aren't. Let's act like rational adults who can hold an intelligent conversation without the typical internet insults. There are people who prefer Corvettes over Porsches just like some people prefer the GT350 over a Vette. But to downplay it's performance makes you no better than the C6 forum crowd that you constantly put down. Now maybe this is all some attempt to piss them off. Maybe you think they're reading your comments and getting mad. Maybe you think they're over here trolling. I don't know. If that is the case and you do think that way then there is no way we can have a realistic conversation on this matter. The Z06 and ZR1 are both Supercars. They are defined by multiple official sources as such. They outperform the Shelby. The base Z06 is right around the price of a similarly optioned GT350R yet the Z06 will outperform the Shelby. These cars are nothing to scoff at. Your hatred aside, you have to acknowledge facts and those are facts. You don't have to like it, you don't have to like the other forum members, whatever. But you can't just go around pouting and saying whatever you want simply because you don't like the car. If you can't respond maturely and realistically to this then this conversation is over.The corvette is and always will be known a midlife crises car….or a poor mans Porsche. In the end, GM will eventually make something that beats a Ford GT…but it will still be considered inferior and (unlike the GT) will depreciate until Billy Bob that works down at the Wallmarts can afford it. I’m sorry if this upsets you, but the Z06 will never be as desirable. It’s not even as desirable as a GT350R.
