Very nice! But I still think the MSRP is just a little too high

..by $80k

500 lbs lighter with 50 more hp, that's not easy to do. I don't think they're going after the GT-R crowd.

Oh, thats just a company that wasted too much money on it, so they need to make some back.

Not worth it at all. A lot of BMW's can be chipped to go a LOT faster for less then $1,000. So why spend $80k more? Because its using lighter weight materials, and will go a second or two faster? SOmeone that wants a unique car will buy it, but others will simply face reality.

Exactly. If I was to pay $150K for an M3, I would expect something like a full-on LMS racer. Sorry yaris-me. It's awesome car otherwise
