150k buys some nutty machines with a ton of power, so yes magazine racing at it's best.

150k will buy you a M3/4/5, C/E63, RS6 which are all sub 4 second cars and can hang with the best of them because of just clubbing physics to a pulp with turbos and giant tires.

But 400hp in a 3000lb chassis is also quite amazing in considering that, my 444hp in a 3600lb chassis feels way more than fast enough, and my 285 wide tires aren't big enough to put the power down. The person that buys the Emira isn't going to be the same person that buys a Huracan(also not in the same price bracket anyways).
This is more like a big Lotus where there aren't a whole lot of contemporaries. The closest you can get is probably the Cayman GTS on the high end, and the Alpine 110 on the low end.
