part of that is due to adjusting the target market for the vette. ZL1 buyers now were the regular vette buyers in the past.

Plus, there's been less significant streamlining since the 90's. The japanese had already lss'd their processes by that time, and not much has changed since.

In addition, IC's comment assumes that an instantiation of a flagship concept car will be made with existing streamlined processes. Just as the technology that went into the 90s 300zx was brand new for its time and hence expensive, is there any reason to believe that the technology that goes into a new version of the Supra won't be just as cutting edge and expensive
