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.

      [Charlotte Observer] Here are 7 intriguing waiver wire options the Panthers could consider

      Link to article Seven players mentioned are... ILB Mark Robinson (PIT) - 2022 seventh round pick that was a core special teams player and was productive in the final preseason game vs. CAR (3 TKLs, 1 FF, 1 FR). Undersized at 5'11" 235 lbs.  CB O'Donnell Fortune (NYG) - UDFA rookie out of South Carolina (and a Sumter native). 6'1", 185lbs frame fits the Panthers' preference for long and lanky CBs. Panthers' evaluators got a lot of time with him during the Shrine Bowl, his pro day, and the combine. CB Damarri Mathis (DEN) - 2022 fourth-round pick that played for Evero his rookie season at 5'11" 195lbs both inside and outside. Did well under Evero (16 games, 11 starts, 65 TKLs, 7 PBUs) but slid down the depth chart after he left. Started just seven of 27 games the last two seasons. DB Dean Clark (NYJ) - Fresno State UDFA with good size (6'1" 205lbs) and preseason production (5 TKLs, 1 INT, 2 PBUs) that can also play special teams. The Panthers have claimed a player from the Jets in each of the past two seasons (having also played the Jets both times in preseason though). OLB Brennan Jackson (LAR) - 2024 fifth-rounder that notched three sacks in the preseason. Played special teams and rotated in on defense that could potentially be an upgrade from DJ Johnson. DB Beau Brade (BAL) - 2024 UDFA that appeared in 11 games and played 70% of the special teams snaps. Has the size (6'0" 209lbs) that the team covets at safety. K Ben Sauls (PIT) - 24yrs old and went four-for-four against Carolina in preseason. Made 21 of 24 FGs during his final college season at Pitt.
