Why 5.3: The wildest of the trinity to drive and the least driven of the three — IPAS, DRS, and delivery mileage. The famous exceptions who lap theirs make headlines precisely because they're exceptions.

The long version
Values cratered for most of a decade after launch before the recent run reversed course, and the ownership churn behind that curve is the tell — this is a car that changes hands on spec sheets and reveal videos more than on lap times. Long-term keepers exist, but the broker network sees more P1s than any track marshal does, each sale pitched as the next floor. The active-aero party pieces get demonstrated in driveways for camera phones; the DRS button mostly stays a talking point rather than a tool anyone needed.
