I hear ya, another wild go kart sorta thing on a mega dose of Steriods. Both of these things can out run and out perform a ZL1. Supercar? No way! Category all of their own, crazy fast in need of a crazy driver.

But what do those geniuses know, so what if they write for some car magazine. We all know the "real" experts are right here on this thread. Now on another forum I read a similar thread to which they state: the mustang is a Supercar, and we may as well throw in the Challenger too!

Just because this is a pointless thread about a useless title that has no real definition. Here is some fuel for the fire.

Website called www.supercars.net the ZL1 is listed.

Here is another online magazine article. For the geniuses that write for a car magazine. "Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is a supercar at a budget price".

http://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/...a-budget-price

Another site this time a blog called supercar-new.

Title is "Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 It is a super car that can be driven every day"

http://supercar-new.blogspot.com/201...super-car.html

(Note the link name)

Supercar is a name it means nothing. Does the car perform like other cars that are classified as a supercar.... yes. Does it look the part... yes. Is it rare yes. FYI Ferrari built 2900+ 458 Coupes and 1450+ Spiders in 2012 that is more that the 2012 production of the ZL1. Considering the cost of the 458 that is a ton of them too.

Overall this is an argument of semantics. If it quacks like a duck, swims like a duck and looks like a duck then it must be a ...... duck

Unless you are saying that only cost makes a car a supercar.

well thats all fine and good, but the ZL1 doesnt look like a supercar either. it looks like an American muscle car.

but i agree...this is all semantics. And im playing Devil's advocate for sure.

I raced dirt bikes professionally for KTM. We got to drive the X-bows at a private test track outside Mojave in the desert, those things are so fun, you better have your harness very tight because they'll throw you out of the seat in hard corners, they're the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels.

Lucky you! So is calling them a go kart on mega Steroids a close description. They look like crazy fun, and crazy fast, especially being so close to the ground it must feel even faster! I watched Jeremy Clarkson take an Atom around the Top Gear test track and he looked scared out of his mind! But loving every minute of it. Gotta put one of those on my bucket list, love to take one for a spin!

Go Kart on steroids is a perfect description! Crazy fast, face in the wind, they grip so much you can hardly spin them out in the corners.

The Camaro ZL1 is too reliable to be considered a Supercar lol

I love these threads

I'll add another smart ass comment. You can't buy parts for super cars at Napa, Autozone, Pep Boys or Oreilly!

[mylftft]

If your car shares parts with a pick up truck or van, its not a super car!
