Sorry but being as fast in a straight or close doesn't make them comprable as far as driving dynamics, quality etc etc etc. Plus production numbers play a big part in price so price to performance means very little. A 991 GT3 is a better performing than a 458 at 175 vs 350k, does that mean the f car isn't worth the money? A lot of times with porsche and ferrari it's the things you can't quantify that make them worth their price.

I agree with your points in principle, but you're exaggerating your numbers for the base prices you're comparing (M3's don't start at 80k). also, the Vette is faster than the 991S on a track (quit clinging to the tenth-of-a-second difference that the Porsche has on straight line acceleration because of the PDK). and you'll be eating your words if the F80 - a nice sized sedan - turns out to be faster in a straight line than the 991S.
