Its the " Law of Diminishing Returns" sometimes 10% more can cost you 4x's as much,still rather have the filet mignon when I can afford it.

 

I'm a 911 enthusiast on a Corvette budget...but I'd still love to have a C6.

 

The C6 appeals to me more than a P-car.. albeit both are lovely cars

 

I think what he's more or less saying is he doesnt beleive the 911 is actually worth that much (as far as hes concerned)

 

Perhaps it was "dumb" "pompous" or wrong, but it is just an off the cuff analogy that came to mind at that moment. Reading back today, I can see how it may have come across a bit too extreme for some. However, I still think there is some truth in what I said.

I apologize to those I offended, though. I am not trying to develop enemies, just provide an alternate and colorful/funny opinion on the topic.

Afterall, this is a car forum and opinions are welcome, even if we all don't agree.

Happy motoring to all (even Corvette guys)

 

Well it depends, for instance if I don't spend $90K would that mean my wife will take that extra money and waste it on girly stuff?

Here's my point, M3 + comp package low $50s probably get you 80-90% of what a 911 S will get you.

So if you want to take an argument P-car is half GT and half sports car you could get an Elise + M3 comp package for darn near the price of a tasty 911 S.


So you'll say so what you can't drive 2 cars at once and the 911 will Own3 both of them. But sometimes a sports car is nice and some times a GT car is nice.

BTW I'm just pointing out what you could get for $90K as opposed to 9 Civics which who would want 9 of the same car?


What I'm trying to say, is even take one of the worlds best cars like a F430 at $200K is that really worth twice a GT3? Some will say yes some will say no, I'd love a F430, but I'd also love a GT3 + M5 + S2000 on the side for same money.

 

I just recently sold my S2000 and 350Z to get a new Corvette C6. It was a very tough decision (especially giving up the S2000 after 3 years). I'm very happy with my C6 - it drives great, handles well, loads of power, etc etc. The plastic interior doesn't bother me at all. I didn't buy the Corvette for its "great" interior. I've never been a big Porche guy, but I'm not going to down the car because I've never driven one.

Here's a pic with my new CCW wheels:

 

I don't think that's what he's saying at all.....

Try this, imagine you walk out of Morton's after enjoying a fantastic steak with a perfect Cabernet and as you hand the valet your car stub he informs you that you could have had three meals at the Sizzler for what you just paid.

I think what Steve is trying to say is who cares? If he wanted the sizzler he could have gone there. For him (Steve in this case) Morton's and all that comes with that experience is worth the price (and what is he going to do with three cheap steaks anyway? One will make him plenty full).

Now the valet may look at what Steve just spent and say "no way am I going to blow a whole evenings tips on one meal". He would say that because his financial situation is probably much different.

Do you get it now?

Put another way, do you think that Jay Leno cares that he could have purchased nine C6 corvettes instead of his one Carrera GT?

 

I wasnt commenting on what Steve said.... I was adding another point of view on the comment he commented on..

ok I'm confused

 

I think both are fantastic cars, but I think I'd probably pick the Porsche.
