Every car is a host of compromises, most performance cars are compromised by having to coddle rich people. Ideally there would be a ~300hp 2-seat sports car version of the FT86 (what the new Supra *should* have been!), but I guess there's no money to be made producing one, and Porsche has long since abandoned ideals of simplicity and lightness... FT86 and Miata are still at the top of my list if I had to buy a new car, even if price is no object.

Shrug, guess I'm one of those guys.
I don't care for a track-only car, but for a dual-use vehicle, I'm not going to pay over 35K for a vehicle with the interior quality of the Twins.
