No offense but your entire car isnt even on the playing field with just that hood.
There is no real answer to any of this topic where the treads headed.
I will tell you this though… It takes alot more car to make me happy behind the wheel. I have driven some cars people consider “way nicer than my daily” and are supposed to be sporty… but fall very short IMO. With that being said, if I wanted a fun car to drive that I impressed myself behind the wheel more than disappointing myself behind the wheel… you are going to be paying alot. Like someone said, its in the eye of the beholder.
But on the flip side, I have had way more fun driving or riding in some totally odd ball cars people would consider crappy.
I still say the perfect car is a 20+mpg 12 sec 1/4 that can take a turn on a back road and not make you deaf or hurt your back at the end of a trip. And that is going to cost a good chunk of coin.
