To know what a supercar is, you need not think like only an engineer, but also like a poet as well.
Supercars, at least in my humble and debatedly limited opinion, are about the unclassifiable. That spirit, that challenge, that style.
Lingenfelter died in what appeared to be a 600-800hp Cavalier. He was an exception. Such effort, and heart, and musscle was put into his machines that when they rolled off the line, they were the epitome of beauty, the epitome of musscle, and debately, the essence of a supercar. They were so ridiculous, so utterly insane, and yet so suave looking that they deserved to be ordained by no other name than Ligenfelters.
Ferrari is a very different animal, but similar. Ferrari is about passion. Ferrari is about over the top brilliance in an undeniably gorgeous package. Civility at 200mph is what I would call it. Riding on a fireball while still being able to drink tea or get a blowjob from your loving wife (watch out for the back end slipping right from under you during that one...
I am talking about the rear axle mind you
) When you realize what they have done, how they constantly pushed the limits of style and substance never keeling over at one benchmark but heading head first in to all, you start to understand what they represent.
Dude, that ****** douche at the dealer is that, a fvking douche.
The essence of Ferrari are not something a saleman probably knows anything about. Perhaps the owner of the dealer or even perhaps, jsut maybe the buyer, but no one else in that establishment.
I could go on rambling about this and that, but I will try my best to sum it up quickly.
Ferrari, hell even the old Alfa's(the REALLY OLD ones
), , Ford GT40s, Lambourgini's (originated because of a ferrari employee....), Lingenfelter's,and Pagani's are the definition of supercars.

Of course these days Alfa's are rev limited to 80mph and meet your local Fuel emmissions requirement..

All of these cars are beatable by 800hp Chevies, but shows why these remain the best of the very best.
Simple unaccompanied brute force or aunaccompanied artistic with leave anything else remaining sub-par
It is these cars that drove greats like Shelby to do what they did. This man, in a fvking barn mind you, unseated a legend all because he wanted to tune his own engine. These machines are the epitome of human creation. Creative aspects of all the fields are there for all to see and for all to wonder over.
Maybe this discussion is futile because it is a personal state of mind that allows for a such a definition, but to me a supercar is something that demonstrates longevity, pride, success, arrogance, determination, joy, love and, most importantly, pleasure.
Suck it all down bitch.:laugh:
