The CTR has always commanded a premium since intro decades (whether getting ADM or MSRP) and the CTR has always been a class-leading performer.
After a few months, the ITS will be available at MSRP and possibly below.
No one gets base model BMWs. A M240 RWD will set you back at least $53K with the common options and a 340 in the low to mid 60s. An ITS will likely outrun the 340 and 240 on a road course. In a drag race? The BMWs will easily take the win. Road course? Likely not and they'll be far more less engaging and muted.
The Zs will be selling for below MSRP soon. The excitement is over and the demand is LOW. I have yet to see one in Kansas City.
The BRZ/86 are entry level sports cars that are bargains for what they offer.
I have a 2011 Cayman 6MT base model with 265hp. That car is good for low 5 second 0-60s and maybe mid 13s@102mph. I also have a tuned 2016 M235 6MT with suspension and tires/wheels that can run mid 12s@112mph+. You know which car is FAR MORE FUN to drive and I'll take 90%+ of the time? The slower Cayman.

I agree with your Cayman comment 100%... that's why I think the G80 M3 sucks and I dont' want one anymore.
For the CTR and ITS... do you think they handle or frankly do ANYTHING better than the BMW cars I called out? Sure they are lighter... it kind of ends there.
