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.
I hate Fox but do you really think the person writing this knows anything about cars? I give them credit as I bet even those Hp/TQ numbers are like hieroglyphics to them. Average people don't know ANYTHING about cars man. Shoot I'd bet the average person can't change a tire, and DEFINITELY not do an oil change.
