The carbon fiber bodywork alone on the Saleen S7 costs around 150k for Saleen to produce. The engine bay of the McLaren F1 is coated in gold (for heat dissipation purposes). Then add in carbon-ceramic brakes, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, etc. I mean, come on now.

Back to the OP's question, I think the 370z offers a lot of car for 35k.
Let's not forget some of these cars are hand made too. A Ferrari can do a 180 all day with no problems cause that's what it was designed for. A 35,000 dollar car well that's a different story obviously.
