Well, I wouldn't necessarily call them saps. They were the first kids on the block with the newest toy. It was probably worth it for them. I am glad they are and will come down though. I can't afford one unless they do.

But the "gotta have it first" guys don't sit on their cars long. Another first is in the wings.

Yeah some of those first ZR1s went for 100K. But the new Z right now there is a dealership in Arlington, Texas that has 6 sitting on the lot and would not sell me any of them even a little below msrp. They all have 10K market adjustments on them. So I just picked up a base C6 for 6K under and I guess I will use the difference between it and the Z to mod it.

I think a lot of people miss this point. If someone paid $10K over sticker a year ago, without their family missing any meals, and have been enjoying a dream car for an extra year, with no intent to resell, then what difference does it make what they paid. They are enjoying their car, and no one is hurt.

When Z06s are available under MSRP (which will happen sooner or later) another batch of C6 owner will want to move up and will be pleased with the bargain they will get.

Everyone wins.
