Yep everyone's is different. Mine is the modernization of certain components/things on the Mustang. Transmission, gauges, updated look, PP on auto, etc. Only thing they missed was putting the B&O sound in it. Go to an Audi dealer and listen to their systems...makes HK a joke.I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. Everyone has their priority list but weighting of these priorities is not straight arithmetic.
Even if someone's top priority is performance, they may also strongly value looks, noise suppression, purchase price, resale value, etc. all of which may add up to outweigh the top priority and cause someone to buy a slower car.
Performance is my top priority but I just can't drive an Arial Atom or a Factory Five Cobra, either of which could be built for not much more than the cost of a new GTPP and it would be WAY faster. Building up my old Dart to handle like a modern car and run 11s certainly could be done for less than $40k...but it's not safe, pollutes like hell, would get 10mpg and it would rust away instantly if I ever had to drive it in the winter.
So yeah...for me, I am assuming a 2018 model year car will have a certain level of refinement, safety and practicality. Pony cars will have a certain layout and aggressive coupe looks. Nicely equipped models will be obtainable for around $40k. Either one will be relatively reliable for 100+k miles, even with enthusiastic hooning, etc.
Given those established points....give me the hottest hotrod I can get.
