Re: Turbo will blow away those 2 cars performance (archive)

Thanks for the post. There is ONE major difference between the 911's, SL500's, etc. How many Porsche 911's are on the road? How many SL500's? Now, how many Z8's will there be on the same U.S. roads? Now someone will bring up Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc. However, my statement about that is the same that I expressed to a friend who bought a Lotus here in Oklahoma. Where the heck do you get them serviced in most non-major metropolitan areas? Once again, WHY is a large diamond so expensive and desirable? Beauty AND rarity.
