Thing needs to get around the Nurburgring faster for more people to want it. Can't even get around it faster than a car that's retail value is 30,000$ less

wow! the 'ring #'s have not been released yet so I'm not sure what your talking about. They are predicting mid 7:2x's which is pretty much faster than everything. Heat soak(as Chuck said in another thread) will be what I'm interested in on the track.

Because Ferrari/Lamborghini/Prosche/Lotus are better?

Scratch that, most cars that Porsche makes and every care that Lotus makes is under $100,000.

And if you buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you're buying an image, because in the end, the the common person, a Corvette is a Corvette and a Ferrari is a Ferrari.

I'd hit it though!

For porsche its: Reliablility, Quality, Ceramic brake options, Factory recaros, ect ect and a racing hearitage that beats everything except maybe ferrari. Thats only if your looking into the car as a whole and not something to just spend money on and show off how small your penis is...
