Went from an 2012 Audi S4 to a ND1 Miata. S4 was "better" in almost every way. 330 HP supercharge V6 with dual clutch going into AWD system with upgraded torque vectoring rear diff. Suspension adjusted 1000 times a second. Could take a highway ramp in triple digits or take 4 people to dinner in luxury. But driving it around at 3/10ths was no fun. Miata is just so much more fun and involving.
Upgraded from an ND1 to an ND2, and the new engine completes the car at just the right sweet spot in power and revs all day long. I can afford almost any car. I daily drive a ND2 Miata because it is the most fun to drive car I know.
And there is some truth that I don't want to show up at work or the grocery store in a 911 Turbo. Sure the performance is mind blowing, but you can't use it. So it becomes nothing but a display of wealth that your drive at 2/10ths. Might as well drive a Rolls or a Bentley, an exceptional machine that displays an exceptional price paid.
