As if any of our car purchases make "sense"

Many enthusiasts wonder why so many of us waste money on 500+hp, $85k sedans weighing in at 3,600+-pounds, when we could instead use that money to buy a more pure experience like a Miata or an older Lotus, and have an Accord or an SUV as a "daily" since you can't use all the M's power on the road in most cases anyway.

Again, it's all excess...but one person's excess is another person's "not quite enough". We each decide. Hec, that's why so many buy 500+ hp BMWs, and then tune them for more power, and these cars often never see a track. 1,064 hp is not going to be enough for some folks...so the horsepower wars will continue. And no, none if it will make sense.

But as an engineering achievement, at this price point, if it's at all reliable, to GM for the ZR1...
