MAY 2016 SALES

[mikeyjobu]

Oh boy. We're starting to sound like the nitwits over on Camaro6 with the supercar nonsense. You can make anything fast. My 1995 GT will out run a Veyron in a 1/4 mile race. But that's where it ends. These are entry level sports cars. I don't car how much crap you bolt on to them.

...and this thread is about sales, and it's almost the end of another month.

Thanks for pointing that out captain obvious. I would have never guessed it's was about sales just going by the thread title.:doh: MAY 16 SALES. And nobody would have figured out it's the end of a month with your help either.

I wouldn't have guessed from the content of the last few posts.

If a 2015/2016 S550 have bolt-ons like a blower and all the supporting mods needed and achieved 500HP or more is consider a supercar? I would think so.

A supercar is a high-performance sports car or grand tourer.[1][2] The term is used in marketing by automakers for unusual, high-end vehicles, and has been used to refer to at least four different sorts of cars:

• Limited-production specials from an "elite" automaker[3]
• Standard-looking cars modified for power and performance[3]
• Models that appeal to enthusiasts, from smaller manufacturers[3]
• One-of-a-kind "showcase" project vehicles built by custom car retrofitters (usually extensively modified collectible muscle cars or grand tourers updated to the latest "streetable" racing technology).[

No bro. The Mustang is no supercar. It's a fast car. It can be a REALLY fast car with some $$$ investments. But any vehicle can be made REALLY fast with $$$. A 9 second Honda Fit is not a supercar, for example. The Mustang is great but let's keep it in perspective.

So what is a def. of a supercar?

Never seen a super car with a starting price of 24,500!:doh:

There's no right or wrong answer - this is an article that's impossible to refute. An easier question to answer might me "when was the term supercar first used to describe a new car?"

http://jalopnik.com/5867594/the-first-ten-supercars/

I wouldn't be surprised if the first time was when the 959 came out.

 

[mikeyjobu]

Nobody called the Mustang a supercar in 1965 - can we call it one retroactively? If you want, sure. I don't.

 

[mikeyjobu]

Oh wait - apparently the term has been in use for a while now:http://dailynewsdig.com/what-is-a-supercar-find-out-its-origins-and-more/

 

[mikeyjobu]

It will sure be fun when the June sales numbers get posted, and then we can debate whether the Mustang counts as a supercar on that thread too. Everyone needs something to look forward to.

All due respect there are right and wrong answer - a fit is barely a car, even if it could fly it is not a super anything :lol:

Super cars at least implies rarity and cost. A 911 S is a great sports car, and it is pricy. But it is not a super car. Turbo. Closer. 918 a bingo.

Mustang GT. No. GT 350, closer. GT 500, maybe. Ford GT, yes. JMO!

JMO = opinion -- not fact

without fact, there are no rights or wrongs. People will argue on and on.

Now who's went off in left field in the sales thread.:headbonk::lol:

 

[minjitta]

then a Pinto with 1,000hp would consider as Super Car?
