Like I said, I would totally love a supercar... but I could only justify it if I had the cash just lying around.

The point is that for the average person a car is a tool to "get the job done." It's not a sound purchase for them. But for someone who is an enthusiast it can be more. Performance figures alone don't make a supercar. It's the emotion that it evokes when you drive it or even see it. You aren't paying for the performance, you are paying for the experience.
