I think "lacking in all around physical fitness" is just a very weird way of describing a car that doesn't have plush leather seats that you can show off to the parking valet.



See that's the thing, I don't need to "own" a car to recognize that it's great. I think that's a limited and immature way of looking at sports cars as a whole.
I had an Exige... I know that sacrifice as well. I never said that I don't think that the Vette or GT500 were capable cars - I've seen enough at the track to know that they're complete beasts. Maybe a better way to phrase my analogy is that the M3 can run a Tough Mudder just as capably, but do it wearing a Zegna suit.
