Anything that would humble a modern sports car by a substantial amount (modern sports car such as a base Corvette or Mustang). So, I'd qualify the ZR1, and maybe even the SRT10 on up to the Exotics.

I don't think it should be a performance only judgment. Otherwise old supercars like the Testerosa which are now humbled by modern sports cars like the C6 would no longer be supercars. And similarly old sports cars like Mustangs which are now humbled by an SRT4 would no longer be sports cars. You need a basis of judgment that is relative to other cars of the same era.
