Well, I get that there is a lot more "special" to the Z - especially with that luscious 7.0L. You're buying what will probably go down as a historic car. Plus if you use it lightly and take good care of it, you'll probably get most of your money back several years down the road.

Not trying to be a pain, genuinely curious:

Curses!

Thank you for your kind and gracious response.

1989 Alfa SZ Zagato. Be the hit of every Cars & Coffee.

For comparison, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca - with it's wimpy 444hp - stickers for $50k.

Just checked, a 1LE is $37,550. 426hp/420tq. Track focused package, although admittedly not as balls out as the Z/28.

Honda Insight.

Doesn't' really sound all that far separated from an Abarth. Which isn't a bad thing.

I need to make more money so I can help stem the tide and be the jaunty old coot that requests to operate his own clutch.

Maybe in 30 years we'll be 2013 GT3 buyers, though!

Like I said, I'm sure it's both better and also the future. However, I'd also like to keep the power to the people and let them choose the old, antiquated system where you have to use both feet if they so desire.

X-Plan and incentives can net a base 2013 Focus ST for right around $20k.

991 GT3 - PDK only. I'm not totally resisting the inevitable future, but at least keep the choice on the GT3.

Complete the trifecta.

Came here to post the Model S. I think it will definitely be a mile marker in automotive history.

It's a little more involved than that. It's not easy to tell if the motor speed changed because you hit a bump, you got to a different part of the window seal, or Timmy's head is stuck in the window. It's done based on speed feedback from the motor.

Since 1925.

Man, I hate it when they cut out quality to save a buck. So annoying.

There was definitely gasoline involved in this.
