New GTR got F-ed in the A

This is why affordable supercars are a bad idea. Lets make a car that can tackle the big boys and price it so any Joe Shmo with a 401K and no brains can take a loan out on one.
You put something like this on the market and then tell everyone that it costs well under 100k and that its "supercar" fast... We now see why supercars are expensive. Not that anything could help the Enzo... BUT. What if the Enzo was the same, but less exclusive and under 100k? I don't think we'd see anymore on the road.
My point? I think I just realized why supercars are so expensive. EXCLUSIVITY. Its just like housing. As price goes up, so does class. You don't see weed-head low lifes jumping out of their Civic's and Daewoo's into Ferrari's do you? Maybe the GTR is under-priced. In which case, I don't think that even dealer markup can help us now.

EDIT: They have more to live for than driving. Owning a fast car to them is just a luxury they enjoy. It's not their reason for existence. Some have the fast exotic cars just because they can, and for no other reason. I know an old man that's dying from cancer. He drives his Lamborghini to church on Sunday at about 11 miles per hour. He has more money than anything else.
