Am I incorrect by interpreting the above quote as "the Z06 is a numbers car, and when you go beyond $100k, the idea that it can be considered a bargain value becomes questionable." My previous post was countering this notion.
To summarize my last statment: the Z06 will remain a bargain at that [my completely hypothetical] $125k pricepoint. "Premium" isn't a relevant selling point.

Wing and I are on the same page here. The Z06 will be the bargain super-car just like the GT-R, but paying that much for something with a Chevy badge on it is the problem. People aren't motor heads like we are. Me, I wouldn't take a Z06 over a GT3. Anything else in the class, absolutely. I know I sound like a snob, but it's true. I feel the same way about the GT-R. Too expensive for the badge. For 125k, I can have myself a used Aston Martin, and I wouldn't care about performance. 'Exclusivity' become a factor.
