This is just wrong, This is a rich kid for you Options

This guy did this a couple of weeks ago and his parents went out and bought him a Boxter, I guess as a reward for having the car for more than a month before totaling it.

I fully agree, high dollar cars are lowering in quality (mechanical) while crap cars are raising it, eventually KIA will have a 500HP supercar to run against the rest of the pile.

Have you *seen* the amount of engineering that goes into a Zonda. Or a Carrera GT?

Yeah, have you seen the amount of engineering that goes into most vehicles. Most of the "engineering" is done on the race track, almost all manufacturers are involved in racing. Do you think the paddle shift was on a Ferrari production car before the race car. They may have been the developers but the fact remains that still doesn't justify a $200,000+ price tag. What about the development of the Renesis and the RX-8 is still a fair priced car. Now take an inline four and produce almost 300HP from it and you got yourself some development. Oh wait Toyota did that already. In the world of V8's seeing a 400HP small block isn't very original in the world of 4's it is. With technology today anyone can have a V-12 producing 500HP+, even a 4 cyclinder with 500HP+ isn't hard to achieve. Now when Ferrari or Lamoborghini decide to make a 1,000HP supercar, manage to make it truely street legal and keep it under 3,000lbs. with 30+mpg, that will be true engineering for todays time. I remember reading an article of a developer for AEM having a 700HP+ (can't remember) Supra that got 31mpg, that came from one guy and it was a couple of years ago, so why can't a group of engineers from Ferrari pull it off?
