Really, what's the defining characteristic of one? I've seen plenty of Corvettes or Vipers that would stomp a shitbox in Porches and Ferraris, but I almost never hear them called super cars? What's the defining line?

Is it handling? If a Civic out handles a Ferrari is it a super car?
Is it price? If you get your Pinto gold plated is it a super car?
Is it exclusivity? My 1914 Model T is more exclusive than any 360 Spider does that make it a super car?
Is it the number of vents? (That's a Saleen joke there...)

What makes a car a super car?
