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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
