Are Supercars a Europen thing?

Zonda, Gumpert, Ascari, Bugatti. Just starting watching Top Gear recently and just about every supercar is German, Italian, English, etc.

I'm not a car guy, but we don't seem to make cars like these. Is it because Ford, GM, and Chrysler have such a stranglehold on car building in this country?

Define supercar... the ZR1 has super car performance ... so does the Nissan GTR. They just don't necessarily have "supercar" pricing.

Well, the ZR-1 is nice but the Europeans are known for making cars that are exclusively supercars. As in, Lambo, Ferrari, etc. All they do is speed and luxury. Not only does Chevy make "regular" cars for poor ass people like me, but they have several versions of the Corvette. A lot of European supercars are all out from the get go. Of course that isn't the rule as you have Audi and other companies that make "regular" cars too.

Obviously I'm generalizing as you have the GT-R (as you said) among several other vehicles and manufacturers from other regions but it just seems Europe is known for their supercar manufacturers.

Well that was the car that had me thinking about American supercars. Because I was watching Top Gear today and Clarkson was raving about the Ford GT. And then I was trying to think about other American cars like that.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
