That's an interesting point, and I suppose it depends on one's motivations and preferences. For me, brute power is of primary importance, but I also think the 911 Turbo is one of the best looking cars ever created. I don't like cabs of any kind, so that would not even enter into the equation for me, but if it did, I would take the power, and gladly pay a premium for it, without question. This is probably due to the fact that I have been a mechanic for over 30 years (most of it non-professionally) and amature roadraced motorcycles (mostly Ducatis) for ten years, so power/speed is ingrained in me and I want it even if it rarely gets used (in other words, I don't drive like a fool on the street). So for me, I would not want a 911 that looks fast when it is not.
