Meh.

Same argument can be said for plenty of cars with less performance. Porsche sells every 911 it builds and anything under a Turbo is slow. Aston Martins are also slow and sell for way more than this Camaro and perform less than it does.

Trying to argue price on cars like this is ridiculous. There are reasons to buy the car that don't include straight line performance.

Most am are very luxury cars.
Porsche has ac, radio and leather ect. This car is stripped so why doesn't 1/4 mile apply. I'm still tryna figure out why they didnt take the car to willow. Every motortremd head to head is done at willow. The gtr beat the zo6 around that track. At the ring the gtr was sec upon sec faster.

Excellent post!

Ever notice the people who continually bring up cost of a car to justify everything are the people who can usually barely afford the car they do have which is barely modded?

Trust me Re-RX7, I get your argument but, I too had a reality check. If you look at performance numbers only, there are plenty of cars that are WAY over-priced when you look at just 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

When I was on Corvette forum people were comparing the Stingray to a Porsche Cayman. WTF a Stingray will annihilate a Cayman in anything, looks are subjective. But all of those performance stats aside, nothing you can do can buy the experience of driving a Cayman. I was with a buddy that went to test drive a Cayman and I was fortunate enough that the salesmen allowed me to go after my friend did and I can say, not that I would pay that much for a Cayman, hey, I understand the price point now.

Just like there is no way to mod a Camaro to have the same experience as driving a GTR. That's what they are selling, to those that care. The people that want the experience of driving a Camaro around a track that beats a GTR is well worth the $70k to those that will buy it.

Long answer short, there are merits that you simply can't put into a measurable statistic. And those that are aware of it, will pay for it happily

Maybe they were personally trying to piss you off? Cause it seems to be working

Lol, fanboys. I guess people can't appreciate a fast car other than a ford or mustang product. Frankly, if the 1LE existed when I was looking at a GT, I would be in that because it would clean my NA Mustang (at that time's) clock on the track.
