Read the whole thing for a laugh. Obviously thinks I'M an idiot.

I've found someone that, given the choice, would rather have a Camaro SS over an i8...because it's faster. To each his own I guess.

Could be both.

I'm going to side with you on this one.

I'm sorry if you've gone and spent a lot of money (and more it seems) on something you thought was a supercar. It's a great car, something that will always be known as a big leap forward and most importantly: will be a great car to use and enjoy. You don't need to try to make it out to be a supercar. Or try to use internet claims of wealth to win an argument.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I've at least studied many of the i8's main components a long time ago already...

Well, that was just rude.

He then goes to say the 458 ISN'T a supercar? Someone's butthurt over the fact he can't afford anything that nice.

Never mind that I haven't "gone and spent a lot of money" on something that isn't even for sale yet.

I mean, there is an actual argument to be made about whether it is a supercar, but if you're making that argument, it is because you don't believe the 911 Turbo/GT3 are supercars either.

Now, it's slower than the Camaro SS? HAHA!

I think I'm going to cancel my order and buy a Camaro SS LE1, he's convinced me.

I particularly like the part of "internet claims of wealth."

I don't think you should make assumptions of the ignorance of potential car buyers, especially on Jalopnik. More so, despite the topic, treat an individual with such disregard.

I'd defend the 1LE to the hills, but to say it's better than a revolutionary, purpose built car is just stupid.

"...not even a proper sports car..." What the fuck? Is this guy confused between the i8 and the i3? I don't see any other reason how he could think the i8 isn't a sports car at the very least . It surely isn't a hypercar but I certainly think it falls into the supercar realm.
What an idiot.

You actually ordered one of these? You idiot! You could have bought a Nissan GTR or like 6 V6 Mustangs! Get with the program you noob!

I'm going with just an idiot. I can't wait hear what you think about it when you get yours. I've been passed by one on the freeway already and it was glorious!

Can you spare a measly $6000 of the leftover money to buy me an old Miata?

This guy is the type of 'car person' I despise. All about the numbers and performance, no fucks given for any other factor one should consider when buying a car.

I'm a firm believer that you should buy what you like regardless of how it stacks up. If everyone just bought the best performing car the world would be a boring place. For the whole package, the i8 is insanely good: looks like the future, great performance, insane luxury, and generally good economy. Would it lose to an SS 1LE in a race? Maybe, but if that's all that matters to someone they should really reevaluate their priorities.

Not to mention the Camaro comes with a 18 pack of Coors and a year subscription to Guns & Ammo Magazine.

Also, I hear so many people saying the Viper (and Corvette) aren't supercars either, apparently for the sole reason of being American (nobody has yet given a reason why they're not).

Just to throw my opinion in there. I think this thing will be awesome! It will also sound awesome (turbo 3 cylinders rule) and look awesome! I just can't get over the separation in the rear 3/4 panel!!! That will haunt me for years!
