Sure my F80 is fast.. but how much of that power do i use day in and day out? not much. i'd be just as happy in a e9x... and i've thought about making the move.
the other part of this is that handling can be improved. you can always add stickier tires, bigger brakes, ohlins suspension, extra bracing.
You can't make a turbo 4/6 cylinder sound like an NA v8 or have the same level of throttle response.

That's exactly why ppl get Miatas, but also ironically why other ppl don't see that and get distracted by other things which imo are not exactly performance-oriented.
