This is what I was originally referring to.

Not really overpriced when you compare the terribly advanced performance over the latter. The 3.8 track does pose a kind of "How much are we really getting for our dollar?" question. But the 3.8 build quality and chassis rigidity isn't as good as ours. Remember we have Rays Forged wheels that in actually are probably worth as much as we get the whole sport pkg. The gencoupe gets Alloys. lol But there computer tech, power seats and bumpin system take over in the value dept.
VVEL like it or not, was groundbreaking, SRM and our 7AT's were 3 levels above in the world of slushboxes. We have some of the pricier suspension set ups in the range. a lot of our value is seen under the hood.
2013 pricing took the Z to the point of ridiculousness. And furthermore, that refresh, weather you think is nice or not? Was a slap in the face when you factor in the slowness of improvements on the Z. Even 8 more hp and a new map or exhaust would have at least made the 13 price increases, not justifiable, but excusable.
