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?

Sure, provided the money is spent right. And of course, depending on what you consider is a supercar.

I made no such claim. I asked a question. They are different.

Perhaps you could have answered that question with "old, outdated ones."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.

Really? "Borderline Supercars"? I wasn't aware that there were sub-categories withing "supercars". So it goes like "borderline supercar" "almost supercar" "could be supercar on some days" "mediocre supercar" "decent supercar" "bugatti veyron"? I guess that's pretty much how it breaks down?
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?

Give me $300k and I'll convince the supercar driver to let a stock Z win

According to Top Gear there is also a hypercar category.
