Valid point. If you wanted to be more cost effective you could get a Z06 or GS and have an aftermarket charger put in. But I don;t think somone paying $160k for a car needs to be too budget conscious.

There are people out there that want to (and have the means to) be the first one their block to get a ZR1, GT-R, Ford GT, (insert your favorite limited production car) etc. What he paid is about the norm. I was at Kerbeck when someone picked up one for $155k. I have a family member who works at a Ford dealer - they sold two Ford GTs for $250k. when they first came out. They MSRPed around $120k. Law of supply and demand.

I guess at least with the ZR1, even paying the premium, you are still getting a car capable of running against more expensive cars. ANd still get a 6 yr/100k factory warrantly. That is if GM is still around.....
