Seems what you're really buying for the extra cash is creature comforts, not extra performance.

That said, I think it's a beautiful car.
That's at the track, but as a daily performance car, this is far superior than the Lotus. The Lotus is owesome to connect with the road, but the comfort level is really compromised, specially if you have performance mods. I could not take passengers in the Lotus and have any conversation without almost screaming. Good and bad on both, pricey Porsche, but good quality & performance for 3300 lbs.
