Why are Porsche not seen as super cars ?

[ZeusF]

My background is Porsche and I remember as a kid always wanting to own one and then at 28(ish) I got myself a 996t cab and was blown away by it. The feeling I had when I bought that car was immense and one that I've never reached again.
It drove fantastically and was super quick whilst sticking to the road like shiatsu to a blanket.

It looked stunning, drove superbly and was as quick as almost anything else on the road so my question is this:

Why is it that Porsche cars are not seen as super cars ?
They are better all round than Lamborghini and Ferrari so I just can't understand.

Super car or not I'd rather have one that not have one.

Amen,
Ive owned Ferrari and Lamborghini but the 911 was the one that I will remember until the day I die.

The defining part of a supercar is the engine in the rear, the stability to handle the power and the looks to make it striking.

Porsche are the best IMO but as above, it has to be down to the fact that there are so many around. I would guess that anyone who actually drives one and then the equivalent will be unable to argue against it.
There are not many cars you can buy, drive to the shops for the local newspaper and milk, drive back home and make a coffee then back in the car to your local track and blast the car for a few hours on a RWYB day and then drive back home.
