I've never seen a supercar, but they use tuned Fiat Marea Turbo wich is quite fast, and they also have some serious Hayabusas.

i saw a 5.0 mustang once, but that was long long ago. They probably have either camaros or mustangs, but i never see them.

The silver Lotus Esprit V8 Turbo that has "Auto Europe" printed at the top of its windscreen in Nik^XeN's post is the very car I was talking about.
