So a GTR is more like "look pretty, go fast, and cost a lot of money." I don't think it's an obscene amount of money for a car, unlike a Ferrari or Lambo.
The GTR is barely a supercar, at least in terms of price. It's actually quite the deal... considering price-wise it's in Z06 land, but performance-wise it's in 911 Turbo land.

I'd buy a GTR long before buying a Vette, way long before buying a newer Ferrari, but it's a tough decision between $80k for a new GTR, or $65k for a used 911 turbo. I think the Porsche is still the better track car.
