I do agree there is truth, for all but the few, there are always cars we cannot afford, same reason I just bought an A70 supra instead of a TRD 3000GT.
As much as I am not a fan of the R35 as a whole, for the price range it is in, It is the top of the performance tree, The fact that it is just a quick as a 911T is meaningless to most (unless you work at Nissan or PCA apparently) Because they aren't in the market for a 911T. Personally i would buy a GT3, but I like my cars raw and lacking driver (band)aids.
I could spend $5k on my Supra and it too would run 10's but people looking to spend ~$200 large aren't running out and buying JZA70's and slapping GT35R turbos on them
