So I guess most people can't tell the difference between base, Z06 and ZR1. |
But it can also be argued that at the high end spectrum of anything, only the people who "know" will know the difference.
I am sure 75% of the population doesn't know that an AMG S65 costs 3x more than the same bodied S350 or whatever the lowest S-class is in Canada.
The same logic goes that 99% of the population will not realize that a Piaget or DeWitt wristwatch with funny looking dials costs up to $500,000 CAD without gold or diamonds.
As a side note; if I were a car collector I probably would buy a ZR-1. Its much more obscure than a GT-R, and due to its rarity would likely hold its value more. The old ZR-1 was nuts; back in '93 it was already ripping 0-60 in 3.8 or something ridiculous like that.
