Ok. Still not streetlegal. Still has no interior. Still probably isn't on the the level of most supercars.

I don't know man... my 98 gsx would keep up with 360 modena's in a straight line all day long...
and I only spent around 12k for the car and upgrades...

Straight line is nothing. I've had two cars that ran 9's. They weren't in supercar territory.

Why not? I mean, can you honestly tell me an Ariel Atom is inferior in term of performance to a Ferrari or Aston bacause it has an engine pulled from a Civic. Different animal, I know, but its funny how people easily correlate a 4 cylinder Honda engine with being slow and utilitarian.

In hypothetical terms where money is no object, it pretty much is like modding in a video game. Supercars aren't as magical as you make it seem. They're just well developed machines designed for a specific task. Some designed better than others. I don't think anyone is doubting the details the goes into developing a supercar & speed alone isn't the only reason why people pay a premium. Its for this same reason you can't really call the LFA a success. It has all the makings of a supercar, but its still a Toyota no matter how you look at it.

Yes, the Z can reach supercar performance spec and you still end up with a Z, but so what. You can call it whatever you want, its going to be one bad *** ride.

Again, strawmanning, albeit less so.

There are certain platform limitations that come with each car. Sometimes it is a heavy structure, like in the case of the z. There's a reason there is so much carbon fiber in modern performance vehicles.

I dunno man. I'm pretty sure my 98 Maxima could beat any supercar you throw at it with $100k mods

EDIT: Don't make me quote F&F lines.

I'm back. I hired a renderer to do a sketch of my 98 Maxima. It's gonna have six turbos and reverse osmosis supercharger. It's got a big wing and everything. They don't call it a 4-door sports car for nothing.
