I completely agree.

But you or I will never tap into that performance, while we will enjoy a nicer interior for the daily driving.

So yay that you pay $70k for supercar performance that you'll never use.
Is it a bargain to spend money on something that you'll never use?

I could buy athletic shoes that look hideous but perform like world-class shoes... but the extra engineering would be wasted on me. And I wouldn't want ugly shoes.

I think you hit the nail on the head: It's a bargain for the money. Just like an Evo. An Evo would probably be a better performer than the more expensive RS4.

You know what? I still wouldn't daily drive an Evo. It is a fantastic car for what it is. But I just happen to not need what it is.

I would rather have a slower 997 C2S than a GT-R. Because honestly, who am I competing against?

I'm going to spend $70k on a GT-R for supercar performance with a minivan interior to prove something to whom? Or I can buy a $50k S5 and go "Aaaaah" when I step into it... and still get to my destination at the same time as the GT-R.

 

I posted a poll last month that had people choosing a used 911 (997) TT over a similarly priced GT-R almost 2:1.

Performance will be similar. Prices will be similar in a few years between a used Turbo and a new GT-R.

 

That INTERIOR SUX!! OMG. Good thing for spectacular performance.

I mean 70k is nothing to sneeze at. And thats if you can get it at that..

I'm sorry I'd be too busy enjoy the driving experience to worry about the interior or lack thereof. Give me a million dollars or 5 million and I'd still get myself a GTR because of the bang for the buck. Just like a Vette (bang for the buck) if all they can heckle about is the interior then that must mean it's one hell of a performance automobile. I'll take mine in grey or silver please

 

BMWs interiors are not so great.

 

I think the writer is a GTR fan. IDK, but I don't take it to be an independent review.

BTW who thinks the 911 turbo has a great interior?

It's OK but not worth 2x the cost of a GTR (IMO)
