911s aren't really about the straight lines. You can get a reasonably equivalent performing car for well less than half the price of the SC, so factor in that at least half the car's value comes from scarcity due to low production numbers and 911 halo effect. It's non-trivial to get these cars even if you can well afford them and they're considered iconic by many folks who love cars. All that said, this model is more of a collectible money grab to me than the car someone who loves 911s goes for -- I'm biased, 992 GT3 is more fun all day, and that's on a track where it belongs.
