And if I have to have carbon-ceramic brakes and paddle shifters to have a supercar, you can keep it. There are only 4 supercars that I would consider. Viper ACR, F430 Challenge (maybe the 458 Italia), Corvette ZR1, and Aston Martin DBS in that order.

It's usually paired against the Gtr, ZR1, Ferrari, and Lambos. Bugatti, Mclaren, and Pagani are in another class because of their price.

It's not much relative to the price of the supercar, which should be pretty high to even be considered a supercar.
