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.
You make some excellent points. When I was thinking about it I had the same problem. I think even the Ferrari F40 wouldn't make my power to weight requirement for instance and it's definitely a supercar.
