See,
I can tell where all of you are coming from... I cant stand the supercars in GT5, not because I'm a 'GT purist' and would rather they only had little euro hatch-craps. But because I, personally, have nothing to compare it to. The Murcialago to me feels like it is driving on ice, that may, however, be how it handles. I dont know.
I have driven lower powered cars so appreciate how it feels to thrash something like a ford focus ST around a track and, to me at least, that is why i play GT games. The sense of 'I wonder if a focus can actually do 165MPH?'
Dont get me wrong, I jump in the race cars, thrash them to shreds and I enjoy it, but i find myself entering shuffle rooms frequently and leaving when the person in charge goes "500PP base limit" because suddenly you lose the entertainment factor in my eyes.
As I said previously, I can understand why you would want the 'hypercars' (although I strongly disagree with the term. An Enzo, Aventador, Konigsegg, etc. they are all just supercars. Hypercars is something daft created by marketers to make their supercar sound better) however, there are many other games that focus purely on those cars. I mean look at NFS games these days. Most of the cars have a price tag of over £100,000 and I wouldnt want to own most of them. In GT5 it's great to be able to go to the used dealership, find some historic gem (e.g. the E-type, Sylvia S13, Audi RS4 Avant etc), clean it up and drive it how the manufacturer designed it to be driven, hard!
You say that GT5 should be all about driving cars you would never drive like that, but you're telling me you'd thrash the hell out of a Jag E-type if you owned one? nah, you'd care about it too much. otherwise you wouldnt have one.
Sorry to waffle for ages, but that's my opinion on the whole debate.
Eyewatering performance 
ahaha
