Says YOU. YOU don't think it needed carbon brakes. Guess what, I'm not going to be able to afford one but I think it's awesome that they're offering the car that way. Obviously it wouldn't have been sufficient since those brakes help significantly in being able to be 3 seconds faster than a ZL1. And the seats? For a track car the stock seats suck. Anyone doing serious racing would rip the stock seats out so they did right in making the Recaros standard. Out of the box with no modifications, this car will outperform almost anything offered for less than $100k.

Bottom line is that GM doesn't care if you're not going to buy this car because someone else will. If there's not a Camaro out there to fit your needs then you obviously only care about the badge and not performance.
