All baloney, but baloney seems to be what sells these days.
ah... indeed, and more than what i would consider comfortable... to the point that i am seriously consider alternative locales -read, i am thinking of getting out of dodge-
the problem is i cannot find another location that **for the time being** would be better... the real problem is that we are rapidly losing the title of.... the last best place, together with... there ain't no "best place left" -rats.

as for gourmet cars.... $200,000.00 will buy you a ... ahem, nice sports car... but you are about half way off the mark for a 'super-car'
i insist that by far, porsche will give you the best value for your $ as opposed to ferrari, jaguar, bentley, pagani, lamborgini, mercedes-mclaren aston martin et all...
for example...
look at the latest design from porsche... sexy... oh yes.
the cayman s. (from $59K to $80K) try the burgundy color...
as a quick reference, it is a much improved boxter, and a toned down (and less expensive) 911 turbo; its genes go back to the legendary 904 carrera gts, winner of the targa florio, the 1,000 km of nuerburgring, 24 hours of lemans...

very informative video.
as for 'super car' from porsche...
NOTHING... and i mean NOTHING comes close to the carrera gt
(in terms of performance and value)
Once under way, you'll notice, perhaps for the first time in your life if you're of the male persuasion, that you have breasts. You may prefer to think of them as "pectorals at rest." Whatever, they're there, and they're moving violently in sympathy to each road dip and hillock. Meanwhile, nothing else in the car is moving. The Carrera GT is topless (with two removable carbon-fiber roof panels), yet there is no movement, no creak, no nothing going on in the carbon-fiber structure. The suspension—unequal-length control arms all around with race-car-style, pushrod-activated coil-overs mounted to the structure—will yield very little to a lowly road undulation, and because the structure will not bend even to the degree that stiff steel or aluminum cars will, all the movement is transferred to your unrestrained body bits. Unlike that of many super sports cars, or even mere sports cars, though, the Carrera GT's ride is not harsh. It doesn't feel nervous or skittish on imperfect roads. And unlike other fat-tired sports cars (the Porsche wears 265/35ZR-19 Michelins up front and 335/30ZR-20s in back), the GT doesn't suffer from bump steer. Truck troughs and crowned roads are beneath its consideration.
