[QUOTE="FordMoCo21, post: 16248889, member: 104388"] A Shelby is absolutely more desirable than a base model Corvette. Chevrolet makes almost more Vetts than they can sell, which means there's base models all over the place, and nobody looks twice after a year or two. People STILL stare at a 2007 GT500 going by. Nobody looks at a ****ing 2007 base C6 when it goes by. Also, by Chevrolet making so many base models they can keep the prices lower through economies of scale, just another reason the base C8 seems "cheap". We all know how they have an abundance of Vetts sitting on lots, and thus get discounted heavily just to move them a few years into production (of a new generation). Ford actually has the wherewithal to do some level of forecasting, so their dealers don't have to discount the shit out of their products. Lets not leave out depreciation... a new 2008 C6Z06 was $70k. They now sell for ~$34k with low mileage. A 2008 GT500 msrp'd for $47k, and they now sell for $30k low mileage. I'll let you do the math on that, but it isn't looking good for the Vett, and that's the Z we're talking about. Again, you see more base Vetts compared to GT350s because of how many Chevrolet pumps out, vs how little GT350s are made. GT350s aren't sitting around on lots being heavily discounted, Vetts are. So who's really winning here? Desire is maintained with the Shelbys BECAUSE less are seen. [/QUOTE]
