It's like when a suped up Civic Si hatchback beat to crap beats an M5 in a drag race. You think the M5 driver is sad they lost. They're driving an M5 home from the strip. I'll take that all day long over bragging rights on who can go faster.

Anyone who spends the type of money needed to own these cars, expects them to perform and if they don't perform to their expectation ( the best / fastest/ most luxurious / more expensive) and "loses" to a perceived lessor... they will feel embarrassment or disappointed, even if only for a short while.

I get the point you're making. Yes, I agree that the lambo is definitely more prestigious than a BMW.
I wish I could afford one, but that ain't gonna happen, lol. As much as I would be happy driving an Aventador.. I would still be a bit bummed out of a corvette spanked me in a test of speed and skill.
I guess you're referring to people who buy cars as status symbols and don't really drive them and make them garage queens, don't care about the performance associated with their trophy.
On the other hand, as a car enthusiast who values true skill, performance and a vehicle's capabilities, would be disappointed if I were to spend so much money on a car designed to be one of the best, only to get dusted off by something less difficult to aquire.
