Well per Wiki: supercar
A supercar is a very expensive and fast sports car. Supercars are marketed by automakers as unusual and include limited production specials from an "elite" automaker, standard-looking cars modified for power and performance, as well as models that appeal to enthusiasts from smaller manufacturers.

If the z06 is coming down in value, it is no more a supercar per the definition Just another sports car on the road...
I tend to agree. The z06 may not be a supercar as per the definition of a super car but who gives a sh*t. It can embarass most super cars on a track. It can make you crap yourself going around turns. Throw on some stickier tires, H/C/I with a tune and your looking at a 550+ rwhp track monster for less than a new 328i.

So yes, go ahead, say its not a supercar because it doesn't meet supercar standards of over the top leather and hand built craftmanship. The only thing handbuilt on that car is the ls7 and IMHO, thats all that matters. When you blow past the guy in an F430, hell even a 458, don't be jealous that he's in a supercar, have a laugh and pass the next guy on the track
