Adam, I'm going to have to disagree with you on the "buy a Z06 and save $100k" comment.

The Vette is a great straight line car, but can't keep up in the twisties when compared to a Porsche or a Ferrari. And the Porsche and Ferrari owners know this. Vettes will always be a Cheverolet as well in that the car's interior is sad to say the least. I believe this is also important to Porsche and Ferrari owners... they want their internal view to be a pleasurable experience as well.

I will also have to agree with you at the same time on the same point though... Carrerra Turbo owners as well as Ferrari owners are indeed trying to make a statement by driving what they drive. For some, it's a statement of passion for speed and handling. But for a sizeable percentage it's to give the appearance of superiority or success.
