And people who drive porsche know cars too, they just dont make them like "too fast too furious" looking like some like to do with their cars.

I can go out and buy a 200 dollar car and make it faster than the Z and paint it and only spend a 1/4 of what the Z cost. To me when you compare cars its about hp and performance, how much the car costs off the lot doesnt matter.
i will argue with you on that...every porsche owner ive ever known doesnt know squat about cars...they bought it because they think its fast...unless you drive a 911 turbo...your porsche isnt anywhere NEAR fast...basically what youre telling me is that the 22 year old blonde who has a rich daddy who bought her a porsche knows about cars???

and yes...the price off the lot does matter...for people who are actually into cars and interested in building them...it matters big time...sure you can BUY speed from a dealership...anyone can...but not everyone can actually BUILD speed

also...one point that i forgot to make (which is outside of my above comments)...the cost of ownership of a porsche compared to a Z is a HELL of big difference
