Nobody gives a shit about your car right now.

So I guess this should formally end the Mustang GT vs 370z talk...

The M Roadster is also worth a look. They can be had at fairly reasonable prices and maintenance isn’t obscene if you find a decent independent.

I can’t wait for the social justice space race which will inevitably culminate with US sending an all-HUBZone-residing-hearing-and-visualy-impared-disabled-veteran-senior-citizen-tri-racial-gender-fluid-quad-sexual-lactose-intolerenet-komodo-dragon crew to land on the Sun.

If that was a serious concern, NASA would have sent jockeys or midgets.

TIL: Miata drivers and Elise/Exige drivers are fake car enthusiasts.

OP is actually asking for a Lotus at half price, despite Lotus losing money on the ir cars...

Sorry but as a true car enthusiast, I can’t see myself buying this car unless they make it 300hp MINIMUM without raising the price. Ideally they’d lower the price so true car enthusiasts would buy it.

And you should win things by driving it!

This basically sums up all of us car enthusiasts nowadays. Wanting everything, and more and a lower price.

They should add more power but reduce the price?

As a true true car enthusiast, I will buy one used once they become $5000 with 100,000 miles on it and won’t change a single thing. I’ll get the manual and drive the wheels off it on some stunning mountain roads out here in Oregon.

Inb4 “muh hp/liter” argument that one would find from an S2K owner...

This is actually the perfect gif for ANY situation haha

“I can’t see myself thinking about buying (but not actually buying) this car unless they make it 300hp MINIMUM without raising the price.”

I’d also like heated seats, a backup camera and a $2,500 cash back rebate BECAUSE I SIR AM A TRUE ENTHUSIAST!

No shooting brake/wagon requirement? You are no true car enthusiast.

With that kind of power in a small coupe, they had better throw in their equivalent of Porsche’s carbon-ceramic brakes while maintaining the price point.
