Basically paying the premium because its a "sleeper".
Would rather pay alot less and buy an SRi-T or a Coupe Turbo tbh.

i could see the appeal for maybe 5% of the time on a sunday morning when you want to punish ///M3 owners, but all the rest of the time i would feel conned.
driving to work, interviews, taking family or friends or GF's out? why not just get the whole hog!

How many 500bhp z-lets do you see... Most are less than 300 tbh...
But yes 500 would hand it too me on a straight in the dry

A lot of money for watch is basically a boring looking car with a decent engine.
The problem with cars that have nothing going for them other than speed is it soon gets boring, you can only drive fast a small amount of the time - the rest of the time your driving a boring silver astra

Doesn't a car have to be fast to be a sleeper?
