The entire Z06 thread thing only exists.... because Porsche HAS ABANDONDED the sub 100K USD high performance sports car market to of all companies --- General Motors~!
Porsche could EASILY design, produce, market and profitably sell a comparable high performance SPORTSCAR in this price range!
But noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

If Porsche designed and produce a car that was as capable under $100k, then they would no longer be able to sell you a car less capable for $150k? It would undermine their ENTIRE product line. Why the heck would they want to do that? They don't want to scrap every car in their product line because of the Z06, and admit they have been ripping off their clientel for years. I doubt the boxster costs less than a 911 or Cayman S to build, but Porsche will carefully price their cars to build an exclusivity. That in order to have a supercar you must pay over $200k, in order to have a world class autobahn you must pay $150, and in order to have a competent GT, you must pay $85. It's the silent agreement that European car makers have subjected the world to for too long. To get 500hp you pay X, to get 300HP you pay Z.
The Z06 is certainly not the first to challenge this unwritten gentlemans aggreement, they are just throwing it in the worlds face and saying it's time for a change. Consumers want it.
If I were a Porsche owner, I don't think I wouldn't care about this Z06 stuff, leave the Z06 to people who want to go fast on a race track. Leave the Porsche to those who want to pull up in a luxury autobahn.
