Rarely is a car only valued on its performance and capabilities.

It all come down to supply & demand and perceived value.

For the same reason that a GT305R is over priced is the same reason that an SS 1LE is under priced (we are talking actual sales prices not MSRP). The perception of the Camaro and GM in general sucks, hence the discounts. Shelby on the other hand is held in high regard, the general public know the name, add that with the limited# produced and BAM, ADM's

What hold value in peoples minds does not always match up with actual performance. This is why marketing works and why marketing is big $$$

It is also why BMW gets away with over pricing the M3/4 because "The Ultimate Driving Machine" is engraved in everybody's minds. This is why I like mag. reviews and professional reviews on cars.

Ok, I am getting off topic here, but you get the point.
