Then don't buy one. Some of us are very excited about getting our cars. Overpriced or not, it is going to be one heck of a ride!

You know that's your opinion and you're totally entitled to it. I'd be willing to bet an awful lot that a JCW car, especially equipped with the JCW suspension, would beat lots of more expensive machinery around a track. I cannot wait to get my car and am totally comfortable with how much I'm paying for it, it's going to surprise a few people wait and see.

I second that. Check out my review of running my JCW-equipped car at Pocono last week:

Needless to say, there were a lot of guys in Bimmers, 'Vettes, and Porsches astounded by their inability to shake the little blue machine in their rear-view mirrors. Plus 128mph in the back straight with more room on the pedal
