True, if these consumers are race car drivers that spend most of their time on the track. Otherwise, I disagree. Who here could have purchased something faster than their Boxster? Probably all of us, right? These "in the know" consumers are "cost per option" or "dollars per second" shoppers. Clearly this consumer you describe is one that is buying the fastest car for the least amount of money.
And if this is your priority, then the Chevy is the answer to your prayers. I don't think anyone should doubt that. But when has Porsche made "A Great Value" a priority?
By similar logic, why would anyone buy a BMW 530 knowing it will get squarely trounced by every a Chysler 300 Hemi they meet on the street?

Clearly,
I am not poo-pooing the Z06. I just don't consider it a major threat to Porsche.
And if you think you're getting employee pricing on a Z06 anytime soon...
