Class and style, and we all know how he can perform!

So the R8 V10 and Aston Martin are both supercars and the ZL1 is not?
Using the standard bar of Nurburgring.
R8 V10 time = 7:44
Aston Martin DBS (could not find a time for the Vanquish) = 8:02
ZL1 = 7:41.27
So the car is faster than both, is a very streetable dual purpose car with crazy good looks, sounds amazing and gets a ton of attention. But it is not a supercar because it is too cheap and they were cheap on a few interior pieces? If interior luxury matters is the Ferrari F40 a supercar? No luxury in that car for sure. It has crank windows, no radio, and no traditional door handles. By this definition it is not a supercar. How about the Porsche GT3?
If the ZL1 had an "elite" name badge like Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin and cost far north of 100,000 USD there is no doubt it would be classed as a supercar. But it is just a Super Camaro and will go down as one amazing car.
BTW Anyone comparing modded cars to stock production cars is dumb. There are built VW Beatles that would crush many modded Camaros. Once you mod a car performance is based on how much time and money is invested. Heck check out this Nissan Juke that would put a hurt'n on many.

So to conclude the ZL1 is not a supercar just a normal car that is faster than many supercars, looks amazing, gets ton of attention but does not cost enough.... I am OK with that.
