It's a matter of perspective. I got mine for the low prices they sell for today. Not bad - a car that can peel back the skin on a number of Ferraris for under $15K - what's not to love!
I was a little surprised a couple months back when dicing with an old Ferrari 308 GTS and had no trouble keeping up and even leaving him behind. I don't think the guy liked it much...
Of course along comes an Aston Martin and smokes my fat a$$. Gotta know your limits
