    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 original Ford gt40 was british built, and the cobra was a modified ac cobra which is british. But the the new Ford GT is sensational.

    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.

    Youwant a tuned VWbeetle with a nicer body? Come to australia we have plenty of kits for example the alvis and purvis eurka...your be suprised how fast they go with stock engines let alonemodified ones.
    To throw something else into the mix australia has builta large number of sports cars likethe chimera,Gvang,Buckle,Bolwell and numerous others i couldactually give you more info on these cars when i get my book back only i have off the top of my head are the bolwell magaris and sometruely incredible facts about the Gvang (twin cylender steam engine no gearbox or diff and capeable of 300km/h...never took off though)
    Andbecause of mypersonal likeing to american cars and with such vehicals as the dodge viper,Saleen S7,gt40(new) and numerous others it gets my vote...closely followed by england for owning lotus,lister and all their work on ford.
