I think too much credence is being given to the cost anyway. Price is an object, but so is reliability, fit and finish, aesthetics and pedigree. The intangibles are extremely important, not just the numbers. I've wanted a 911 my whole life and that's what I bought. Honestly, if the GT-R goes around the 'ring 2 seconds faster, I really couldn't care less. And, Porsche didn't have to lie about the amount of power their cars put out to get respect. I'm glad there is some competition out there but at the end of the day, I don't want a Nissan GT-R. The fact that every car magazine out there compares every new kid the on the block to a 911 speaks volumes as to the performance and desirability of the vehicle. That isn't up for debate.
