The collective "you". So everyone that simplistically values cars by their performance numbers alone... You too perhaps?
Look at the post above-

If the M2 performed as well as the M4 it would be about the same price.

It's true, but why? It's a smaller car, has less stuff, and could have the same performance with a smaller motor. It
should cost less. But if it did, and it performed as well as the M4, BMW would sell far less M4s. Because car buyers looks to performance numbers to try and figure out what a car is worth. And it's that simplistic attitude that guarantees that car manufactures
won't build the cars they easily
could:
- An M2 with an M4 motor should cost thousands less to build than an M4 but be faster.
- A Cayman with a 3.8 S or GT3 motor should be a budget supercar.
- A VW R with the Audi 5 cylinder would be a budget GT-R.
All great cars that would be easy to make and sell well, but that we'll never see because of the attitude on display here. Something to think about...
