Can you give me an example for the same performance at half price?
The GT-R appears three times, at 75, 76, and 93. The Mustang Dark Horse, Audi RS3, and Supra are all about $60K.
You have to read it with some context in mind, though. The Audi RS3 only scores that high because they had a factory option to ship it with 60 Treadwear track day tires.
On the more standard performance tires it dropped to around the ~150 mark on the chart.
Fun car, but I wouldn't put it in the same league for track performance. Put those same 60 Treadwear trackday tires on the GT-R, Mustang, or Supra and they'd all jump up the list too.
Unfortunately also discontinued.
Base C8 Corvette models are surprisingly close at a fraction of the price. The top tier C8 models are even faster.
Are those 4wd ?

there's more to a car than price and performance benchmarks.
They're both fantastic cars on the track from all reports. I'm not sure whether you're denigrating the R35 ("just a sports coupe") or the Mustang ("just a muscle car") in that comment.
Also, price and performance benchmarks seem pretty darned important in the worlds these cars play in. We're not talking about minivans or even sport sedans here.
Your concept of a muscle car is probably outdated if you don’t think they play in the same space. The American sports cars are very formidable
> there's more to a car than price and performance benchmarks.
Those of us who actually get on track do care about this stuff. I’d happily drive an ugly tin can from some obscure country if it performed well, was the right price, and was reliable.
The whole muscle car versus imports debate is more for the armchair car enthusiast and people who hang out in parking lots with their hoods up.
