nowadays GM and Ford makes a lot faster sports cars with a considerably lower price tag than those European sports cars including : M4, S4, AMGs ..etc.. my friend who owns both Camaro SS 1LE and a supercharged Miata gets similar lap times in our local tracks and swears that the 1LE has a similar turn in and handling response ..many people say the same for the GT-R, maybe because it has huge/sticky 305/30/19 tires all around and the cutting edge spool valve suspension that is used in F1 cars
I'm kind of an automotive luddite. I like mechanical things. Although with enough tire and enough computers controlling enough things you can make a heavy car behave like a lighter one, I'd rather just get the lighter one to start.

A Camaro weighs an entire Lotus 7 more than a Miata.

I can't deny the appeal of a V8 grumble. I get it. I'm not putting down the cars or the people who drive them - just not my preference.

Some guys like girls with round bottoms, some guys prefer busty ladies. There's no real right or wrong preference there.
