BiTurbo:

An excellent rejoinder to the question of speed versus driving experience.  I too do not need to have the fast car on my block nor do I need to have the quickest shift times.  That said, if others want the fastest car on the block, let the manufacturers provide; however, those same manufacturers should not neglect the other set of owners.  

One the allocation front, my small dealer has stated that their allotment is three for the year.
