I will repeat myself AGAIN. "Supercar" is just a classification. My argument was NOT that it would be considered a supercar, but that it COULD beat supercars on a track. Is that simple enough for you? Do I need to break it down even more? Take a stock 3300lbs lamborghini Countach with 455bhp which obviously fits in your little "supercar" category, and put it on a track against a Z that has 300k invested in it. Take a long moment and evaluate the outcome. And for god's sake be rational. If you are unwilling to admit that a built Z can beat "supercars" of any kind around a track, then you are simple minded and this conversation is a complete waste of time.

It really comes down to driver skill. Even in my lightly modded Z on some days I'm faster than some GT3s and Ferraris in my run group. Also, I get similar lap times to when I was in my 650hp supercharged C6. Performance of the cars isn't different enough to overcome the different levels of driver skills.

You asked which supercar a built Z would beat around a track, did you not? You're making this discussion more complicated than it needs to be. Not all "supercars" are godly. There is no possible way that a built Z cannot compete (and defeat) a single supercar out there on a track.
I don't know how much more simply i can put it.

I've owned a car that would lap most supercars that came off a cheap platform. I'm pretty sure I know it can be done ![]() |

Laugh all you want, you made that argument, not me. "Which supercar will you beat with 100k in your Z?" Like I said, Supercars is just a classification, doesn't mean they're untouchable.
Quick question, Red: With 300k in a Z, do you think there is a production supercar in the last 3 years that could be beaten?

Perhaps you could have answered that question with "old, outdated ones." I would generally agree with that. You could potentially even say borderline supercars... I would agree with that as well. But fact is, you'd probably be hard pressed to even beat stuff like the gtr. |

So you can't agree to say that 300k into a Z could beat supercars around a track, but you CAN agree that 300k into a Z could beat "borderline Supercars" around a track, correct? And you firmly that 300k investment into a Z couldn't beat a Gtr?
