If you're ever in an aircraft flying through cloud, you'd better pray
that your pilot is using his instruments, and is *not* relying on his
personal sense of 'up and down', which comes apart in these
circumstances.................pretty much like listening to hi-fi.

That makes it much easier to make resource deployment decisions that can
positively affect my overall enjoyment quotient in the most effective
manner. If I absolutely need the absolutely fastest car than I have to
buy the 911.

Er, no, you want the Carrera GT........... :-)

If I'm just interested in "fun" perhaps the Mustang will be
my choice.

Er,no, you want the Mazda MX-5.......... :-)

If I want an incredibly fast car but also want to spend $75k
on a downpayment on a new house too.... then perhaps the Corvette is
best for my application.

Maybe in the flat, straight US, but an Audi S4 or BMW M3 will destroy
it on European roads.

But these are not commodity products.

Sure they are - walk into any showroom and place your order - well,
maybe not the Carrera GT, but you *did* specify the absolute fastest!
