Wow Fox is even dumber than usual...

"The Tauro V8 Spider is based on the chassis of a Pontiac Solstice but gets a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine sourced from GM.

This is the same engine found in the Corvette supercar and in the Tauro V8 Spider it is rated at 440 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque and is matched to either a manual or automatic transmission."

Last time I checked the Base Corvette, or any Corvette for that matter, isn't a super car.
I'd argue the Z06 and ZR1 offer supercar level performance but to call the base Corvette a super car is just uninformed.

The Tauro V8 Spider is cool though, wouldn't want one cause the Solstice was a girls car but cool idea regardless.
