That's true. I guess we just have to get past that period for the car to reach its true price point.

Maybe not to you, but that's why I said value is a subjective thing. Performance step up is one of the most important things for me for my next car, but it's not the only thing. Also have to look at cost, looks, interior, etc. My next car after my Z will most definitely not be one that is a step down in performance. At the minimum it should have the potential to be a step up after some mods.

Exactly, but of course this is the internetz and we will forever argue and bench race without ever even sitting in the car.

Just saying, I bet you could have a lot more fun with a Miata than an Aventador on local roads. But on paper, the Aventador is the obviously faster machine. You just would have to route yourself around any speed bumps, couldn't drive it to its limits ever, and would have trouble leaving it parked anywhere without being a nervous wreck. It's all relative.

I argue with this statement, and these undocumented statistics support my assertion: 3.2, 141, the battle of Gettysburg, penguin

Psh I would be happier staring at an Aventador in my garage all day than driving a Miata. I'd have to track it to get anywhere even close to its limits, but I'd be willing to do that.

Yeah, but you could actually drive the Miata places on a daily basis with no worries, and you would probably have more fun getting from A to B legally on everyday roads.

Tracking a car is quite expensive. But you could do that and have fun in the Miata as well.

But back on topic, buy a BRZ meow!

If I can buy an Aventador, I can probably afford to track an Aventador. Legally I may be able to have more fun on everyday roads, but who drives like that all the time?

I could always have something like a BRZ as a DD and Aventador as the weekend car. Best of both worlds. I would DD an Aventador if I had to, but that's just me

lol it doesn't mean you have to go balls out all the time, it means you always have the option in a Miata to legally go play.

But again, we're derailing.
