    I gotcha, the problem is the fact that all Toyota has to do is say "the LF-A needs to be faster than the GTR" and BAM it's done, they have too much money and too many racing engineers. They wouldn't even need to put that much effort into it.

    if toyota wanted to build a 700k supercar that would smoke any production car,they probably could....but i think the LF-A will deff take the GT-R and the NSX

    Yea but the LF-A will probably be over 150k and the GTR will cost less than 80K, its a super car on a budget. Id take the GTR, plus it has a racing pedigree.

    Not a supercar?
    11sec quarter, 3.5sec 0-60, and ran the Nrburgring Nordschleife in 7min and 38sec a hair slower than the carrera gt.

    Please define for me what a supercar is......

    Zonda,XJ220,Enzo,Carrera GT,F40,F50,Diablo,S7,959,SLR,Veyron.......etc

    do think the GTR should be listed with any of those?


    performance is only part of a supercar......

    Is a Z06 not considered a supercar, a supercar isn't only defined by its price tag. And performance is the biggest part of a supercar.

    Why? just because you dont like em. That isn't enough reason to not call a zo6 or a GTR a supercar, I dont like the diablo or the xj220 but they are supercars none the less.

    Super cars have a vent (air duct) requirement too!

    Take a look at the Saleen S7, amount of vents was taken into consideration when building.

    (Funny but true)

    Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?

    You sir, are a jackass. The Z06 is called the "Supercar Killer". Now would that make it a supercar?

    If you answer yes, jump in front of a marta bus

    If you answer no, you probably read the above

    hmm lets think here, you said the zo6 was a supercar killer then wouldn't that imply that a the zo6 is atleast equivalent or maybe better than most supercars. Then doesn't that make a zo6 a supercar in its own right? Im sorry but ill jump in front of the marta bus.

    Yea, It's called rules. When you meet them, you will have no problem. This is a free listing as long as you meet a couple rules.

    Actually...you win. I've never laughed so hard at something so simple.

    How old are you by the way? That may play a part in this.
