michael Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 "Exotic sportscar" IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 "Supercar" is a term used for a high-end sports car, typically an exotic or rare one, whose performance is highly superior to that of its contemporaries. The proper application of the term is subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. The use of the term is dependent on the era: a vehicle that is considered to be a supercar at one time may not retain its superiority in the future. The automotive press frequently calls new exotic cars "supercars". By that definition, it's a supercar. Saying dumb stuff like "It's a Ford, 'nuff said" is, well, dumb. You're effectively saying that it's not a Lambo or Ferrari therefore it can't be that great, which is sooo narrow minded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spider Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hell yes its a super car and thank f*** its not like the GT40 wobbly death machine. The Ford GT has a shed load of power and handles sweetly (well for a yank anyways). Also the brakes are mighty and it makes the right noises. And dosnt the car just look right, especialy with thouse cool doors:D A dude in a private super car forum that i am on has one and its fantastic:) I would have one me self anyday of the week. You try saying its not a Super car when ya tearing along at 200mph+ in a Ford GT. So its a thumbs up from me:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Lambo make tractors. Does that mean a Lambo tractor is a Supercar? Ford GT is a supercar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 You mean in the same way a Supra isn't a super car because it's built be a mainstream manufacturer? How about the new Audi thing then? Super car or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GT Well they list it as a supercar. As far as I was aware any production car that could crack 2 ton made it into the supercar bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
