Besides the fact they have absolutley nothing similiar, yes, SuperCar i can call it, but Exotic i cannot, as Viking had put it. If i had the choice, i wouldnt care for either, Although im leaning towards the GT500, id rather have the New Beautiful Boxster S over the GT500 or Gallardo, or even the new M5(Better for the kids)..-_-

Vette/Viper yeah this is a silly comparison, even if I was responsible for it. The Gallardo is a beautiful exotic, while the GT500 is a tall geared super Mustang. If someone offered me my choice of either for free, I would choose the Lamborghini. There is a lot more to an exotic car's driving experience than just speed. On the other hand, if I use the strict speed standard to allocate the term Super Car, the GT500 certainly qualifies IMHO. I am quite curious to see how the beast of a Mustang does on a track. Is it going to handle well? I don't know.

If you consider Corvettes and GTRs to be a supercars...well heres one more.
Lmao!

Since someone else mentioned SuperCar and 2013 Shelby GT500 in the same sentence. I thought I would compare it to a Lamborghini. No Mustang is an Exotic, ala Lamborghini, but in this case at least it is faster. So if you use the term Super Car to mean a really fast car, I guess the GT500 qualifies.
