Agreed to a certain extent, but not everyone can afford 3-4K for the real thing. Ordered a set of Work Meister S1R 2-piece in bright buff finish in size 17 front and 18 for the back for my 97 NSX. Can't wait to get them in, but they were pricey and its a 12-14 week custom build wait from Japan! Will post when I get them in and fitted. Here is a shot of them on a Skyline:knockoff wheels

I got a ticket for doing 77 in a 65 zone its the free way everybody is over the speed limit. Then a ticket for a 35 in 25 I thought the speed limit was 35. My first tickets ever been in the same month.

I actually own 2. The VR-4 is a pain, I'll give you that, but my base has been nothing but reliable. Had the clutch slave cylinder go, but besides regular maintenance, It's been smooth sailing. It's slow, but that's what the VR-4 is for. I plan on it having 500 AWHP by the end of the summer. Just got new paint, dual core front mount intercooler, new, bigger turbos, full fluid change. It just needs injectors, ECU, and fuel pump so I can run E85.
Here's a picture of my car (daily) and some friends at a recent meet.
:x:x
Lawwwd
neighbor got a twin tturbo stealth thats also about as reliable as flipping a coin but man these cars will alwaysssss have a special place n my heart

...and you think Lebron James bought a Challenger SRT8 and Camaro SS for their performance? Hogwash. He bought them because they're whats hot in the streets where he came from and he could afford the top of the line model(s) ten times over without blinking.
Totally agreed. This thread has turned into an all out pissing match that's going nowhere but in circles. It started off pretty well...
You spoke about compensation before when it came to luxury cars, and its no different in the price/performance argument. At the end of the day, you're still comparing a heavily modified vehicle with thousands invested to one that's rolled off the factory floor, albeit with a (much) higher price tag. That particular person bought the Lamborghini because he/she wanted the Lambo. They could've afforded the 1,000HP Supra, too, if desired. The same probably cannot be said about the person with a Supra easily affording the Lamborghini.
Saying you can modify the V6 version to keep up with the V8 is irrelevant. With the amount spent to do that, you could've acquired the higher trim and still retained all the drivability, reliability, warranty, and resale value of an unmolested stock vehicle. There's absolutely no return on the money "invested" in aftermarket parts and the car is then marketable to a much smaller group of buyers.
Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other exotic cars provide plenty more than the just raw test numbers that so many are quick to scoff at. There's an indescribable aura type feeling and excitement the provide, whether you're driving, passenger, or even watching it pull up. For most, that's more worth the price of admission.

Man the suburbs were where they kept getting me.
I had a little Mazda with Texas plates and they kept frying me.
I did spring break at a ski resort up by Traverse City got pulled over and they straight didn't believe my car was mine.
Ended up getting arrested on some mistaken identity ****. I would have sat in jail for 3 days if Washtenaw county didn't fax a picture of the dude they said I was.

Replica wheels are cheap for a reason. They're cast not forged and usually pretty crappy. Quality costs but it also saves lives.people knockin rep wheels now? SMH
