    From what you've listed the McLaren is the best.

    The Corvette, 911 and Mustang do not qualify as supercars.

    One could argue that the 911 GT2, GT3 or 930 Turbo are supercars but the 911 and even original 911's aren't supercars.

    The Mustang is a Pony car, and the Corvette is fast, but not a supercar, because it is cheap in terms of price. The Corvette beats a good amount vehicles that cost more than it does. Its not quite a fair comparo... but the Corvette beats the Espirit and Both of the Astons, which are supercars costing much more than they do. It also beats the NSX, another excessively expensive car, for only 50k(0-60 times considered.).

    The Corvette isn't pathetic. And.... it does this on about 23.5 miles combined economy. Any (non-hybrid)car with that type of economy isn't a supercar.
    Stickers add horsepower. I promise.

    I think at least the GT2 desserves the title of Supercar, but definetly the GT1. The 911s are a debatable group of cars.

    What country do you think has made the best supercar,?
    As everyone is naming their favorite you are unlikely to get a difinitive answer. You are getting what you deserve however. The question needs some explanation. ie best looking, best performance, best cup holders etc.
