I find it funny that if it is seen on TV, or marketed as something it is not, folks still believe it even though there are no facts to support the claim.
I guess my definition of a super car is not reality.  |
oh ok, I thought performance was a main determinant of supercar status. Apparently it just depends on where you buy it.
What exactly would you call a "supercar" that gets its ass handed to it by a $70k Nissan "non-supercar" from Joes Nissan dealership? Not so super, i guess.
Also, launching an 400hp AWD vehicle 20+ times without service is not pushing limits, its abuse. There is a reason no US-spec supercar comes with launch control.
Ferrari's and Lambo's catch on fire driving around on normal roads. Lambos also have shit reliability, and Murci's with E-gear often require tranny rebuilds after just a few thousand miles. These cars often arent even being pushed to their limits and they break, so by your definition, they must not be supercars.
