Combined with the sky high cost of entry, sky high maintenance costs (unless nothing goes wrong, at which point it comes down to a level that's just "relatively expensive"), and virtually un-usable real world performance - I can't justify it for myself anymore (I actually had a Cayman for a few years from 2009-2011).
I can't justify buying and owning a by the numbers sports car which has otherworldly performance. The car becomes more of a piece of jewelry at that point then an actual fun to drive experience, and that's what makes me so excited about the FRS.
