You can buy and modify a Toyota Supra to go faster than a Ferrari for much less money. Thats why nobody buys Ferrari's - there is just no point. And people buying Ferraris are just stupid for wasting their money when they could have a Toyota Supra instead.

I'm not sure why you are being sarcastic.

The article is just about the Mac Pro price. Conclusion: it's a fair price.

My take on the article is that its saying; you can buy a Toyota Supra and modify it but for about the same amount of money you could just get a Ferrari instead.
its more like: If you buy a toyota supra and drop a ferrari engine and other ferrari performance parts into it, you will end up with the same price but a toyota supra instead of a ferrari.

You can certainly spec a PC with the same amount of processing power for much less than $3000
