Why buy a ZR-1 for 120,000 over an almost as fast Z06 for 70,000. Is .1 sec woth an extra 50,000? To some it is, to me it is not. Thats all. I did not mean to stir up the pot initially, but it was interesting to see how fast a few attached. That's ok though, as I set up a nice defensive position, and the Final Protective Fires are planned and registered!

To some extent you just answered your original question. Personal preference in the eyes of the beholder helps set the price. Naturally supply and demand comes into play, and yes free enterprise lets pricing go as high as the market will bear.
